Cities of Your Future: A Tinkering Event For Adults

October 17, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm PDT

Cities of Your Future is a collaborative event where you will create and reimagine a city.

What is your origin story? Where are you from? Place is a primary building block of what makes us who we are as humans, isn’t it? Have you considered how you would be different if you came from a place that you designed? Well, for a few hours, you will be able to imagine your new origin story by creating your city.

Cities of Your Future is a collaborative event where you will create and reimagine a city using tools and materials inside our lovely, family friendly maker space under the St. Johns Bridge. Not only can you rewrite your story, but you can take this opportunity to experiment with materials and tools that could enhance your skills and inform your textile art. Work side by side with others and construct a scale model of a city where everyone can thrive. Weave, sew, collage, and paint. Plan and build your ideas with sewing, added electronics, found objects, and more.

Tinker Camp mentors will be on hand to teach a skill if you want to learn!

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.
