Testimonials
My moment with these talented people of great innovation and creativity, they make me feel like I’m being lifted up to their world, just talking to them, hearing their creative process. Watching them do their thing, it lifts me up into that world, and then I get to bring some of it home and I always remember being inspired or moved by what I saw.

This is absolutely my favorite event of the year. I love being able to travel around and check out different work areas & tools. It's really cool to be able to speak to the artists in their OWN space and see what their process is.

All my life I wanted to be a painter, but I was afraid that I didn't know how to paint. In 2013 I went on the PDXOS tour. I walked into artist Jesse Reno's studio and had a painting awakening! I realized right then and there how painting can tell our stories. I started painting the next day and since then I have painted almost every single day. I paint stories about the connections we have within ourselves and with others. I love to paint, and for me, it started with Portland Open Studios!
