Design Week Portland is a week-long festival with hundreds of events, talks, exhibitions, tours, workshops and open studios. Programming illustrates what is new and interesting in the field of design from the perspective of designers who work across many practices - from graphic design and architecture, to fashion and apparel, to industrial design. Discussions and demonstrations take place in every corner of the city from April 6 - 13. The events are accessible to the public with a range of price points, including many free or low-cost options.
