Amity Artisan Goods is more than a gift shop, it is a community that came together. Representing underserved artists, including women, immigrants, LGBTQ, BIPOC, Latinx, and AAPI makers, Amity believes in "Together we are stronger".
Its founder, Alshiref Eskander, started in 2014 with a graphic design and textile print business, he shortly initiated in setting up at street fairs and holiday venues around Portland. Through these events he met a myriad of local artists and creators that inspired him to, one day, establish a permanent hub where everyone could express their art forms. In the last 3 years, Alshiref had the opportunity to successfully open Pop-Up stores in North and SW Portland. This positive outcome led him, with the support of the city of Portland, namely Livelihood NW and Prosper Portland to achieve a dream of establishing Amity Artisan Goods in 2021.
