While the Museum of Contemporary Craft’s Fashioning Cascadia exhibit has almost a month left to go in its run, most of its associated events, residencies, and lectures have already passed. Over the course of the summer its visiting artists have created a “Fashion Safehouse”—a physical studio space within the exhibit that has been added to and inhabited with each rotating participant. In a last minute, impromptu addition, acclaimed Portland designer Adam Arnold will be taking a break from his spacious eastside studio digs to spend every Thursday working on a collection there that will debut with a runway show October 1, also at the museum. His own studio has rules, like “no shoes” and “must have an appointment,” so this is “the first time in history” you can drop in on Adam at your own whim. (If you enjoy a game of cat and mouse, Arnold reports that he’ll also be there “most days… unless I am at yoga or getting something to eat”). Museum of Contemporary Craft, 724 NW Davis, Thursdays through Sept 25, 11 am-3 pm
