Mark your calendars for 11/19 and get ready to join us for an evening of Great food, Tasty Libations, and Inspired Conversation.

Association returns, this time in our new home, Bar West!

In celebration of Design Week Portland, we are throwing a dinner party with some seriously fun folks. Sn**ch your tickets and make a night of it!

Settle in for a damn good time with us as we welcome Marigny Wines partners Andy Young with Benji Wagner for a Q & A on 'Disruption'. The guys will chat about launching a natural wine brand for a new generation, reflecting on the industry at large, and how their vision for the future connects to the design community.

Our menu will be created by very special guest chef Sam Smith (Tusk) alongside West's chefs, Lucian Prellwitz (BEAST, Ned Ludd) and Morgan Deeks (OCI, Ned Ludd). Ticket includes meal, wine pairings, and gratuity.

Following dinner, we will be cranking up the tunes and kicking out the jams - and after 10pm we will be open to all, so if you miss the meal, join us on the dance floor!

Congratulations to our chef! Much deserved.
