Portland Design Month Opening Event

Come kick off Design Month with the story behind this year’s brand, a look at what’s ahead, our art show CAN DO, and drinks with friends.
About this Event

We’re getting together for opening night with a look at what’s coming up throughout October and a conversation with Emy Su, the designer behind this year’s identity. She'll share the direction behind the brand and how she brought it all together.

Also ... CAN DO - an art show about cans - celebrating the design work happening on beverage cans here in Portland. We’re lining up art from local breweries and beverage makers in one continuous display. Think of it as a runway of can art, with the designers behind the labels sharing their stories and thinking along the way. We’ll have a few design awards for the winners - you’ll help decide who takes them home.

There’ll be food, drinks, and plenty of time to catch up with old & new friends. We’ve got a lot planned for October ... let's start it off with a little noise!
