Artists Up Close

Designed with fellow creatives and industry peers in mind, this is a chance to meet the people behind the work, exchange ideas, and connect with others who share a passion for making, building, and shaping the places we live. Hear the stories behind the installations, dive into the materials, methods, and ideas that shaped each room, and ask the questions you can’t answer by simply walking through the finished space. Meet the artists and craftspeople doing inventive, highly personal work across disciplines—and discover that many of them are right here, working in your own creative community.

Enjoy coffee from Puff Coffee and pastries from Decadent Creations, then take home a handmade welcome tote crafted from vintage textiles sourced from Portland’s colorful emporium, Cargo.

Filled with thoughtfully curated gifts from Portland brands and makers—including Pendleton Woolen Mills, Clayhaus and Portland Art Museum—it’s a one-of-a-kind keepsake celebrating Portland’s creativity, craftsmanship, and community.
