PORT is 1.... and expanding
Yes, today is PORT's first birthday and we are proud to announce two new additions
to our staff. From the outset PORT has been a successful experiment in evolving
the blog format into a serious visual art forum, one that could provide the
expertise that the subject deserves but is quite rare in more generalist publications. Big thanks go out to our sponsors who have made PORT possible.
It's true,
when
first conceiving of PORT we didn't realize we were creating a daily publication,
but that is what it has become. The need for daily coverage is partially due to the
ever expanding art scene activity in Portland as well as the increased interest from elsewhere in our local affairs. So yes, PORT is a local
publication with an international reach. In fact, PORT's readership has constantly
increased with a rise of over 17% in individual readers last month alone. With
this explosion in Portland art scene activity and an ever expanding readership
it became necessary to expand our writing staff (instead of creating our own brand of gin) and we are pleased to announce
that Melia Donovan (news and announcements) and Jenene Nagy (artist opportunities
and announcements) are joining us. We were fortunate to have such a highly qualified
and competitive pool of applicants to choose from but Melia and Jenene both
stood out. Stay tuned for details on our our 1 year birthday party in the next 2 weeks.
They will both be introducing themselves here shortly,
