Best Dress’t Rest Chairs

October 16-October 31

Two dressed-up chairs, for resting!

This exhibit consist of 2 simple, used folding chairs dressed in elaborate reclaimed fabric coverings that imitate clothing. They are meant to encourage rest. Rest is a powerful (and increasingly overlooked) element of health, and a true form of resistance. We must incorporate REST as a new tradition! There’s also something about resting in tandem (hence 2 chairs) that feels significant.

  • Vaccination is required for in-person events. Organizers may request proof of vaccination at their discretion.

Support Our Community Programs

In just over 4 years, Portland TextileX Month (PTXM) has turned from an ambitious idea into an engaged community movement. This transformation highlights the power of our mission to foster collaboration, cross-pollination, cultural dialogue, and intergenerational exchange among the Portland textile community and beyond.

This year we’ve organized the PTXM festival with over 40 events and directly sponsored a multitude of FREE programs including exhibits, workshops, artist talks, community events, and more—representing a diverse range of textile interests and practices. This year’s PTXM Regeneration Festival has brought together makers, businesses, teachers, students, institutions, and organizations to gather around shared interests and knowledge-sharing. PTXM would not have been possible without the dedication of event organizers, paid contributors, paid interns, amazing volunteers and the receptiveness of the textile community.

We hope to continue building PTXM and TextileX website as sustainable resources that serve the textile community for years to come, and that’s where you come in.

If you feel a connection to the PTXM mission and what we can accomplish together, please consider making a direct contribution programming. As a direct contributor, your funds will go directly toward programming, lean administrative expenses, and providing paid internships. We appreciate any contribution you can make and your continued support.
