Interested in joining the Open Signal community as a member and/or media maker? Join us for an orientation, the first step in your media education journey at Open Signal.
Have you been wanting to join the Open Signal Community as a member or as a content producer? Do you have a project you would like to air on Portland cable channels? Are you already a member but want some help creating and airing your content on cable?
Before you get started at Portland’s largest media arts center, attend one of our orientations to learn about Open Signal’s legacy, mission and library of community media resources — as well as how you can become a member and content producer.
Join us every third Friday from 6pm to 8pm to establish or renew your membership, learn about Open Signal’s history and programs, and get acquainted with the options your membership opens up for you.
Can't join us in person? We offer a virtual orientation every last Saturday from 2pm to 4pm, register here.
