MUSE BEHAVIOR RUNWAY
& ARTIST SHOWCASEMuse Behavior Runway & Artist Showcase is a performance that balances theatrical elements and well-executed fashion. Imagine a classic runway show as it walks through a unique set design that tells a story beyond the garments, drawing the audience in. With deeper visual context, the less obvious muses become a bigger part of the story.
The 1st annual Muse Behavior Runway will take place at the historic Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR. The past performers, important events, and endless memories make this the perfect venue to bring together our collage of theater, fashion, and nostalgia. To expand beyond fashion, our artist showcase gallery will create a personal experience through a collection of artistic modalities.

“Muse Behavior is a phrase to describe the personality that each outfit has. “Muse behaviors” are less obvious influences we often overlook in fashion. I want to make the less obvious muses a bigger part of the show.”

VENUE
The Crystal Ballroom
The ideal blend of past meets present. Crystal Ballroom is a muse in its own right as Portland's most historic concert venue.
The space is 7,500 square feet, with a classic corner stage, floor-to-ceiling windows, a swooping balcony, and full bar service.
Our event will overflow into an artist gallery, where you can browse and meet the artists while enjoying the pre-show.
Our audience of up to 400 guests will line the runway path. Just like live theater, the guests will have a real-time view of the stage crew flipping the set between each collection, drawing them into the story.
