This March, the Mercury is releasing our first-ever arts guide, a magazine devoted to the artists, shows, and festivals on our radar this spring. It’ll be as comprehensive as we can make it. We’re excited!

If you’d like your performance, reading, or art event listed in the Mercury‘s Spring Arts Guide, please email details of your event to arts@portlandmercury.com absolutely no later than February 19. Space permitting, the guide’s calendars will list events through June.

If you’re interested in purchasing advertising, direct your inquiry to sales@portlandmercury.com.

If you’re unclear on how to write a press release, here is a blog post I wrote a few years ago, conveniently titled “How to Write a Press Release.”
