Apply to become a hotel partner
Limited Hotel Partner sites will be available. Apply early to get involved!
The 10th Portland Winter Light Festival is February 7 – 15, 2025.
This call is for Hotel Partners interested in participating in the Portland Winter Light Festival by presenting art, hosting artists, and exhibiting light-based artwork. Participating Hotels will be recognized for their support of PDXWLF through various channels and are essential partners in bringing the magic of PDXWLF to Portland.
Installations can be light-based art installations or sculptures in windows, colorful and creative outdoor lighting, video projections, and more.
PDXWLF will work to match artists to available hotel venues. We may not be able to match an artist with your venue, but there are many other ways to participate as a hotel partner.
If you have questions about getting involved, please email cari@pdxwlf.com. For questions about art or installations in your hotel, please email misty@pdxwlf.com.
