Artists from North Coast Seed Building, Carton Service Building and River St Studios will be showing & selling their work as well.

With more than 65 artists participating, art lovers will find paintings, prints, fine art, ceramics, photography, sculpture, mixed media, glass, jewelry, apparel and more.

Visitors can support local artists, listen to live music and enjoy local food and drink while interacting with artists in their creative work spaces.

This quintessential Portland experience highlights the vibrancy of Portland's art scene and has become an annual event adored by both locals and out-of-towners.

BONUS: NWMAW is excited to host their inaugural SMALL ART / BIG GIVE fundraising event at this July’s Open Studios. Dozens of artists will create 5"x5" original works to raise money for one of Portland’s exceptional nonprofits. 100% of sales will benefit North Pole Studio, who offers a professional studio, art program, and creative community for adults with autism & developmental disabilities, allowing many to enjoy independent careers in the arts.
