Art Institute of Portland

The Art Institute of Portland was a private college focused on creative disciplines such as design, media arts, and culinary arts. It offered degree programs aimed at preparing students for careers in fields like graphic design, fashion, and interior design. The school emphasized hands-on learning, industry connections, and a curriculum tailored to current market trends. However, it faced financial challenges and closed in 2018 as part of a broader closure of Art Institutes across the United States. Despite its closure, its legacy includes the contributions of graduates to various creative industries.
