One of Portland’s most promising young bands for years, Growing Pains hits its twenties with ‘Daniel Loves Mandy Forever.’

Curator Bijan Berahimi makes a point of giving commercial artists an opportunity to work outside of brand briefs and pitch decks.

After a splashy debut with a big press, the Portland author opted to self-publish his second book, ‘Baby, This Is a High-Priced Country.’

‘The book is the shorthand for everything you would need to know to work at the Whiskey Library.’

Also: Cheekface is at Hawthorne Theatre, and Ilyas Ahmed and Pete Swanson play a record store show at Musique Plastique.

‘Season of the Witch’ screens at Academy Theater on Oct. 17.

Compare notes at ‘Capturing Bigfoot,’ Nerd pit at OMSI’s Black Community Science Night, and paddle at the Giant Pumpkin Regatta.

Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, organizers of the Time-Based Art Festival, hit the end of a 10-year sweetheart lease.

A group show brings the annual festival’s Layers of Resilience theme into the white cube.

‘In Spite of Ourselves’ has the makings of a rom-com, but the movie never gets too sweet.
