Placed on File
This presentation offers a dynamic look at the scale, significance, and vulnerability of Portland’s independent music economy: an often-overlooked engine of economic growth, cultural vibrancy, and civic pride. Through a blend of local voices, lived experience, hard data, and global best practices, we’ll explore how music shapes Portland’s identity and what the City can do to protect, invest in, and grow this vital ecosystem.
