BIPOC Design Resources
PDX in Color
PORTLAND IN COLOR envisions a future where our city’s Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color creatives are supported beyond visibility. Through community events, local partnerships, and a public directory, we create and foster opportunities for collaboration, artistic and professional growth, and tools to sustain creative livelihoods. We highlight the voices, experiences, and contributions of our community as a vital step towards an equitable arts and media landscape.
Where are the Black Designers?
Where are the Black Designers is an initiative and platform for Black designers. By connecting designers, educators, and creative leaders we host a dialogue about change, both in and out of the design industry.
People of Craft
People of Craft is a growing showcase of creatives of color and their craft in design, advertising, tech, illustration, lettering, art, and more. It’s time to redefine what a creative looks like.
