Visual Art

The Disability Arts Gallery Lab is now accepting applications for Spring and Summer 2026. This application-based visual art program supports artists creating and presenting work centered on Disability identity and culture. The Lab will culminate in a public gallery exhibition in Portland this summer, where the entire community will be invited to celebrate the work.

Get hands-on, make a mess, and let your creativity run wild! This three-part workshop series gives students the chance to explore different art forms, experiment with new materials, and develop their own style in a fun, supportive environment. Each session is a deep dive into a specific art practice, so you can join one or take all three for the full creative experience.

PHAME’s student clubs offer creative and social spaces for students to connect, collaborate, and explore their interests outside of class. Both clubs are student-led and open to all PHAME students. Come as you are, and bring your creativity!

Get your creativity flowing in this imaginative and playful art class. This class will focus on drawing. Students will be introduced to the work of contemporary artists and will learn about art history, and will also be challenged to ask themselves the question, What kind of art do I like to make, and why is it important to me? Come hone your technical skills while developing your own artistic voice! Students will need paper and a pencil or pen, however are welcome to use additional art supplies if they have them.
