It’s been over a year and a half since we wrapped up our third Linework NW festival back in May of 2016. When that show closed, we announced that we would be putting LWNW on hiatus for 2017, with the intention of returning in 2018. However, after much consideration, the LWNW Crew has decided to extend our sabbatical indefinitely. There will be no Linework NW festival next year or anytime in the near future.
As we mentioned last year, LWNW is a volunteer-run organization, and it takes a tremendous amount of energy to put on the festival each year. All of the organizers have had major creative, professional, and personal business to take care of in the last year, and and taking some time off from putting on the festival has honestly been a welcome break for all of us. While we love and cherish the incredible warmth and energy of the festival and the Linework NW community, we hope you’ll also understand that we’ve decided to take more time off. If and when we decide to return, Linework NW will be better than ever. And you’ll hear about it here first.
As always, all of our thanks, love, and appreciation to the creators, volunteers, sponsors, and attendees who have made Linework NW such and incredible, moving, and vibrant nexus for our creative community in Portland and beyond.
All our love,
The LWNW Crew
