Entertainment - Portland, Oregon, United States
Fifty years ago, Vortex I made a bold statement about the values of a new generation. Vortex 2020 is a renewal of those commitments to build community, practice tolerance, and preserve our natural resources.Vortex 2020 reimagines the typical music festival by adhering to three core principles:1) Vortex2020 will not charge a fee for entry. The ticket is volunteerism. In place of payment, attendees will give their time to official service projects in their communities.2) Organizers and volunteers will create the festival together. Using a commons-based production model, Vortex2020 planning relies on the creativity of dedicated collaborators.3) Musicians, performers, and visual artists will have strong ties to the Pacific Northwest, and the broad range of performers will honor Oregon's diversity.
