Arts Media Contacts

Press Database

The Arts Media Contacts press database covers the visual and performing arts and music. The result of 20 years research, it lists all the media outlets, critics and correspondents who cover the arts in national, regional and international press.

As well as full contact details including direct telephone, email and social media, each entry offers a paragraph of information about the publication or programme with advice on how to get your event featured.

The database is constantly updated and each entry is checked at least every four months.
