Portland Design Month 2026
October 2-23, 2026
We’re now seeking Event Proposals!
We are looking for almost anything imaginable that fits within the broad rubric of design—studio tours, design topic talks, panel discussions, exhibits, networking/social events, public art showings, and activities we haven't thought of.
Deadline extended! Submit by August 15, 2026.
About Portland Design Month
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.
