ARTS MADNESS IS BACK!
Plan your own Portland Arts Crawl and Save Big!
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 other local arts organizations have come together to offer discounts on shows, recordings, merch, and more throughout the month of March.
"People often fall into a familiar routine when it comes to attending live events," explains Liz Bacon, Resonance’s Director of Marketing. "With Arts Madness, we're shaking things up, offering a diverse array of events all in one place. Our goal is to inspire people to explore new concerts and experiences they may not have considered otherwise."
From the opera stage and concert hall, to unique and intimate local venues, the program encourages arts lovers from all over PDX to explore what their community has to offer.
“We love each and every one of the organizations participating this year,” says Resonance Ensemble staff member Kimberly Osberg, coordinator of Arts Madness. “It has been so exciting to see the hunger for deeper collaboration among the arts groups in town, and Resonance is proud to be a part of such a mutually-supportive arts scene.”
Featured organizations include a wide host of local favorites: Resonance Ensemble, Portland Opera, Chamber Music Northwest, Fear No Music, Third Angle New Music, Cappella Romana, In Mulieribus, In Medio, and the Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble.
“The team at Portland Opera is over the moon to participate in Resonance Ensemble’s collaborative activation of the local arts community—ArtsMadness—this March,” says Jen Wechsler, Portland Opera’s Marketing and Audience Development manager. “We’re excited to see this program evolve and grow in its second year and hope to reach the next generation of opera lovers with the West Coast premiere of the beloved children’s book The Snowy Day!”
"We're grateful to collaborate again with Resonance on Arts Madness," says Cappella Romana Executive Director, Mark Powell. "If you're a regular patron of a concert series, try something new this spring; you'll be glad you did!"
Fear No Music’s Executive Director, Monica Ohuchi, shares, “What an opportunity to celebrate the rich and diverse arts culture we have right at our fingertips in Portland! Fear No Music is so honored to be partnering alongside such deeply impactful organizations."
“Kim and the Resonance Ensemble team truly understand what the phrase ‘a rising tide lifts all boats’ means, and they are willing to make it happen. This is a vital service to arts organizations in order to activate this community’s adventuresome patrons,” says Chamber Music Northwest’s Marketing & Communications Director, Nicole Lane. “It is such a delight for us to partner with Resonance Ensemble again this year for Arts Madness!”
