Mission Statement

NCAG is a 501.c.3 Non-Profit Dedicated to the appreciation and understanding of the arts, the encouragement of new artists, and promotion of art interests throughout the community. Donations are tax deductible.

Our goal is to provide a comfortable environment in which artists can learn and benefit from each other’s skills, knowledge, and methods. 

Attending our meetings is a great way to meet fellow artists – plus you can bring a painting or two and have a friendly critique of your art work.  This makes for a great learning experience! Monthly demos  are given by some of the best Portland area artists and should not be missed. Questions are encouraged during the demos. They are a great learning experience.
