Advertise in Preview

Preview Magazine is a 16 page printed product produced three times a year by the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts (MVCPA).

Advertisers in Preview enjoy great exposure within the Bay Area with a multi-month shelf life with 20,000 copies directly mailed to patrons who have signed up to receive the publication, approximately 2,500 additional copies hand delivered to local hotels, business campuses and apartments, and another 2,500 copies available every day to patrons and visitors in our theatre lobby, where we also showcase sponsors like you to anyone attending our performances or enjoying our lobby art display. 

Advertising in Preview highlights your business to people visiting Mountain View, those working in the area and to local patrons for repeat business and many of our local restaurants and businesses benefit from advertising with us.
