Nordic Northwest

Nordic Northwest is the catalyst in the Northwest for preserving authentic traditions and culture while celebrating modern Nordic life, culture and business. Acting on that vision, NNW: - Enriches the cultural fabric of the region through regular programs of Nordic visual, performing and culinary arts - Promotes travel, trade and business between Nordic nations and the US - Explores Nordic heritage and values - Increases awareness of the current and historical contributions made by Nordic Americans to the region and the nation - Supports Nordic language and literature classes at Portland State University - Presents educational outreach programs for kids of all ages Nordia House, NNW’s Nordic cultural & community center, has seen a constant stream of visitors since opening in the summer of 2015. It is a beautifully designed and conceived building and an experience of modern Nordic craftsmanship. It is the venue for much of NNW’s growing list of programs and cultural events, as well as a center for Nordic organizations throughout the Northwest
