Art + Design on 9th, the collective of galleries and design showrooms along Portland’s NW 9th Avenue, will host its second Wine Walk on Thursday, September 10, from 5 to 8 p.m. Guests are invited to explore 13 participating galleries and design showrooms, each paired with a featured Willamette Valley winery.
Following a successful inaugural event that welcomed more than 300 visitors to each participating location, the Wine Walk returns with another evening celebrating the craftsmanship, creativity, and community that define Portland’s Pearl District.
“Art + Design on 9th brings together the creative businesses that make NW 9th Avenue a vibrant destination for art and design”, said Sasha Goldstein, Owner at SMG Collective. ” By bringing together art, design, and wine, we’re creating an experience that celebrates craftsmanship, creativity, and the character of the Pacific Northwest. It’s the perfect opportunity to spend an evening exploring art, design, wine, and the creative spirit of Portland’s Pearl District.”
At each stop, visitors can enjoy a curated wine tasting while exploring current exhibitions and collections ranging from fine art and sculpture to contemporary furnishings and handcrafted design. The self-guided format encourages guests to wander the district at their own pace, meeting artists, designers, and winemakers throughout the evening.
“Independent galleries, design showrooms, and local makers give the Pearl District its unique identity,” said Jon Blumenauer, CEO of The Joinery. “Events like the Wine Walk encourage people to discover these businesses, meet the people behind them, and support the creative economy that helps Portland thrive.”
Participating locations, winery pairings, and information will be announced in the coming weeks at artanddesignon9thave.com.
