Design Museum Portland Celebrates 5th Anniversary

Design Museum Portland Celebrates 5th Anniversary

Portland, OR. Design Museum Portland celebrated its fifth birthday with a sea of orange at the Jupiter NEXT space. Over 200 attendees, decked out in their most creative orange, gathered to celebrate Portland’s vibrant design community on November 1st. Attendees included Cassie Williams, Miranda Shum, Paulina Monroy and Talisa Shevavesh. The event raised over $30,000 for future programs. 

The Design Museum has no permanent address. Design Museum Foundation a national nomadic network of design museums, producing exhibitions and events in places where people already go. Whether in a gallery, retail environment, public space, or on the web, nonprofit’s programming gives audiences new insights into the design process and the greater social, economic, and environmental contexts.

The lounge spaces were designed by Knoll Studios and the Jupiter NEXT.
