Portable Gray Review (PGR), which is published in each issue of Portable Gray, takes stock of the city of Chicago’s thriving cultural scene. With an eye for things that may not get covered by more mainstream media outlets, our critics review recent art exhibitions, films, music recordings and performances, dance, new media art, theater, and literature, as well as other cultural objects and happenings that may fall outside of familiar categories. While Chicago-centric, PGR is not Chicago-exclusive, as we also look for unconventional connections that extend far beyond the city limits.

Interested in having your venue covered by Portable Gray Review? Please send press releases to portablegray@uchicago.edu, with the subject line heading: PGR (title of your event, exhibition, etc).
