Design Week Opening Party + Kickoff @ Jupiter NEXT
Apr 6 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm

Design Week kicks off with the opening party.  From the Design Portland website:

Luck is for sailors. For stock market traders. For those who don’t believe in themselves. Luck isn’t for designers.

Join us at the official DWP opening party to kick off a week of connection and inspiration at Jupiter Next, the new endeavor from Portland’s standby Jupiter Hotel. Take in installations curated by Kamp Grizzly, including collaborations with Craig Winslow, DOA (Department Of Art), Matchless, Neon Distributors, and Ways & Means, plus many more of your faves in town.

Grab a drink or two from Merit Badge, who will be slinging beer from Dirty Pretty, wine from Cooper’s Hall, and beautiful spirit pairings brought to you by Townshend’s Distillery + Q sodas. Drinks are for purchase, but we’ll have delicious free snacks from Garden Bar and Ellenos Greek Real Yogurt. Not feeling the healthy vibes? Ash Wood Fired Pizza will be parked on the premises in case you need cheese + carbs.

Luck be damned, we’re feeling pretty fortuitous that you’re in our community, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
