Episode Details

The Portland Mercury’s Spring Arts Guide focuses on the alliances that artists and arts organizations are forging throughout the city. Between the rising cost of living and the craziness of our national politics, Portland’s creative communities are finding a need to rely on one another more than ever for survival — even when they’re competing. Portland Mercury culture editor Suzette Smith walks us through some of the season’s best events and the communities behind them.

• The Antipodes at Shaking the Tree Theatre through March 29
• Literary Arts Bookstore
• Mother Foucault's Bookshop
• Monet’s Floating Worlds at the Portland Art Museum through Aug. 10
• ja’ / buuts’ / t’aan (Water / Smoke / Word) at the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art through May 31
