About Us
The Portland metro region hosts an astonishing array of creative entrepreneurs that form a deep reservoir of cultural excellence and potential economic vitality.
Showcase PDX – through its website, audio and video programming and live events – promotes the very best that Portland has to offer, connecting viewers with the sparks of innovation that surround us.
By creating a nexus of inspiration and collaboration, Showcase PDX provides local entrepreneurs with tools and opportunities to succeed. By raising awareness, by sharing, by educating and, most of all, by celebrating, we hope to engender communal prosperity.
Our website serves as a hub for a virtual community of creative innovation. Separate pages focus on different kinds of innovation: in the Arts, in Food, in Business, in Style, in Health and Wellness, and in Conscious Living. . Each page hosts a mix of audio-, video- and text-based content and resource links.
The heart of Showcase PDX, however, is its video programming, each item featuring local artists and entrepreneurs discussing their work and sharing their personal stories and unique visions.
This creative vitality has the potential to drive our economy forward in new and extraordinary ways. Showcase PDX guides Portland’s creative class toward a more productive, profitable and sustainable future. This aspect of Showcase PDX will be further reflected in a set of membership-based tools and forums.
In addition to our Internet-based programming, Showcase PDX will be out in the community producing events such as Third Space and Showcase Live! that achieve these same goals, fostering conversations and creating synergies wherever and whenever we can. Showcase PDX will be full of surprises, as our team of storytellers unleashes their collective muse, embodying within themselves the same creative spirit we attempt to celebrate and promote.
