For the third year, the AIGA’s Portland chapter brings Portland’s design community together for PDXpo tonight, Thursday, March 27 from 5:30-9 PM at the Portland Center for Performing Arts: The Winningstad Theater (1111 SW Broadway). The main event is the keynote address by former Portlanders Alicia Johnson and Hal Wolverton (Johnson + Wolverton), currently Executive Creative Directors at Euro RSCG in New York who will reflect on Portland and present the work their firm created for Amnesty International, the Sundance Channel, and perhaps their current work for Jaguar, among others. Keynote begins around 8 PM. PDXpo showcases Portland-based graphic arts vendors and service providers with a side of social and snacks (the price of admission—$12 AIGA members and $17 non-members—gets you a drink ticket at the no-host bar). Exhibitors at the event include Aquent, The Art Institute, Dynagraphics, FILTER, City of Portland Office of Sustainable Development, Pro Photo Supply, PNCA, SMART Papers, and Unisource.
