Music Craft NW is an annual economic development initiative celebrating one of Oregon's most distinctive and globally respected manufacturing sectors: musical instruments, professional audio equipment, electronic music technology, and related music products.
The initiative combines an invitation-only leadership reception with a one-day public expo designed to generate business for local manufacturers, attract regional visitors, strengthen Portland's identity as a global center for music manufacturing, and elevate awareness of an industry that represents one of Oregon's most concentrated traded-sector business clusters.
More than a trade show, Music Craft NW (showcasing 30+ individual manufacturers) serves as the public-facing centerpiece of a long-term strategy to support industry growth, encourage collaboration, attract investment, and position Portland as the premier destination for music manufacturing in North America.
