Mission
Factory Portland provides the business and marketing support local musicians and bands need to survive in a competitive marketplace. Factory strives to advance the diverse and exciting nature of the Portland music scene by giving the bands and musicians that are a key part of this community the help they need to focus on what they do best: create and perform their art.
Why Factory Portland?
In the tradition of Andy Warhol’s Factory and the late, great Factory Records comes Factory Portland. Both bridged gaps and crossed lines where music, art and events met – this is what Factory Portland hopes to do, too.
