PORTLAND, OR (June 10, 2025) — All Classical Radio, the Portland-based classical music, arts, and culture radio network with international reach, announces the release of the limited-edition book Artist Anthology: 40 Creatives of the Pacific Northwest. The publication celebrates groundbreaking contemporary artists from Portland and the wider region through original storytelling by notable Pacific Northwest writers, and rare glimpses into each artist’s studios and work spaces by prominent regional photographers.
“This anthology coincides with other bold initiatives to transform our unique classical radio station into a comprehensive arts and culture network,” says Suzanne Nance, President & CEO. “This book brings our vision to life, even as it brings to life glimpses of art by trailblazing creatives in the Pacific Northwest. It’s one of the most rewarding projects we’ve ever created—and this is only the beginning.”
The 40 profiles in Artist Anthology — plus two bonus profiles — offer a snapshot into the lives and work of composers, musicians, fashion designers, culinary artists, illustrators, visual artists, poets, sculptors, stage performers, and more. These creatives, among the most visionary and influential storytellers and culture bearers of today’s thriving Pacific Northwest arts communities, are:
