Portland is a mix of contrasts. Grit meets glamor, new challenges old, and this culture of opposites results in groundbreaking art, music, and creative expression across every medium.

As a city, we’re continually redefining ourselves, and that’s what makes us great. We’re proud of our quirks, our shadows, and our charm — so let’s celebrate them! Join us every October for Portland Design Month, where we’ll explore all that is wonderful and weird about the Portland (and beyond!) creative community.

Whether you're a designer, artist, professional, or student, it’s your time to get connected and get inspired.
