Arts Madness is Back!
PORTLAND, OR — Resonance Ensemble announces the return of their March community initiative: Arts Madness! Founded in support of the vibrant arts scene here in Portland, Resonance and over a dozen other local arts organizations have come together to offer discounts on shows, merch, and more throughout the month of March.
"More than ever, local arts organizations need local support,” shares Liz Bacon Brownson, Director of Marketing for Resonance Ensemble. “Spending with intention helps to shape the world we want to see—and Arts Madness is for all who want to see the vibrant arts scene in Portland continue to flourish.”
From opera and chamber music to live theatre and immersive experiences, Arts Madness aims to encourage arts lovers from all over PDX to further explore our region’s arts scene.
“It is always such a delight to participate in Arts Madness —aka the arts fans version of spring sports season—alongside our performing arts friends, all thanks to the vision and efforts of Resonance Ensemble!” shares Nicole Lane, Marketing & Communications Director for Chamber Music Northwest.
Portland Opera is also thrilled to once again partner with Arts Madness. “Building community is at the core of our mission,” says Artistic Director Alfrelynn Roberts, “and Arts Madness allows us to broaden our reach and introduce new folks to our art form. Bravi, Arts Madness!"
“Portland Playhouse is grateful to be building community through mutual support with this group of organizations,” reflects Portland Playhouse Marketing & Communications Director Cassie Greer. “We know that arts have incredible healing power, and we hope this Arts Madness also brings some more Wellness to our world.”
