home > EDUCATION > OREGON GRAPHIC DESIGN SCHOOLS
Enjoying easy access to deserts, mountains, temperate forests, and unspoiled coastline, art and design students in Oregon can find natural inspiration everywhere. A center of U.S. green technology innovation and cultural experimentation, Oregon offers many opportunities for those interested in exploring industrial, interior, graphic, and information technology design.
Oregon Art & Design Career Options
Fine artists may be drawn to the cultural capital of Portland, a thriving city and a magnet for youth-driven indie culture. Top-notch schools in Portland and nearby cities Salem and Eugene draw students from around the U.S. The recent addition of a Modern and Contemporary Art Wing made the Portland Art Museum one of the United States' 25 largest museums. Visual artists can shop their works at the many private art galleries in both Eugene and Portland, or try their luck at one of Portland's monthly art walks, which take place in both the high-end "Pearl District" and the more independent, edgier Alberta Street area.
