After two and a half short years and three successful iterations of Portland Textile Month with you all, this October we are reaching further to broaden participation, diversify perspectives, and increase our reach to include other cities and textile communities throughout the world.

We’re hoping to find other community-centered makers, organizations, and businesses outside of Portland with the desire to build grassroots connections and who share our values of highlighting emerging voices, fostering collaboration, and advancing exchanges of ideas across cultures and generations.

Are you connected with any organizations outside of Portland that are a good fit for building New Traditions? Are you part of a business that values diversity, collaboration, and learning? Please click here to get more information and to get involved with planning TextileXmonth. Thank you!
