Design Week Portland

Design Week Portland (DWP) is great!

“Design Week Portland is a week-long, city-wide series of programs exploring the process, craft, and practice of design across all disciplines.”

Portland’s creative community has held this event for the last five years. An impressive variety of talks, workshops, exhibitions, studio tours and more are presented. Although I’ve only attended a few of these sessions so far, I’m impressed with the quality of the work presented, the knowledge being shared and the welcoming, collaborative “feel” of the local design community.

The mission of DWP “is to increase appreciation and awareness about design and its far-reaching effects on matters of cultural and social relevance, including community development, education systems, and the economy.”

Design Week Portland runs through Saturday, April 29th. Learn more about this event.
