Blend - At the Crossroads of Culture is an event celebrating the work of BIPOC artists and designers from across the Pacific Northwest. Hosted by Symbol, a black and women-owned creative powerhouse agency, Blend is not just an event; it's a movement towards inclusivity and representation in the arts in the Greater Portland area. As Portland emerges from the shadows of the pandemic, Blend offers a vibrant space for connection, expression, and cultural celebration.

This three-day event will consist of an artist’s gallery featuring large-scale art installations by renowned local BIPOC artists and a new creative campaign created by Symbol designers called “Les Sapeurs” – all themed around cultural juxtaposition.

In addition to the art, there will be a DJ, live music from regional BIPOC artists, and artist talks. Blend will also have food for sale from various BiPOC-owned food carts and a cash bar.

Your ticket also includes a free drink (Alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and a food item! Don't miss the kick-off event of the summer!
