Performing arts managers and agents are the glue that binds the performing arts. They ensure that communities across the nation have access to the very best avant-garde, classical, and modern performing artists in the world. Agents and managers find artists concert halls, theaters, and festivals in which to perform. They arrange regional, national, and international tours for choreographers, composers, dancers, directors, orchestras, theater companies, singers, and youth ensembles. They find artists the stages on which to perform so that audiences can hear, experience, and share in the work.

Welcome to NAPAMA!

NAPAMA is comprised of a diverse group of managers, agents, self-managed artists, affiliated business vendors, and presenters – all industry colleagues in the field of the live performing arts. Our shared goal is to maintain a healthy and productive business environment for all. NAPAMA actively develops timely professional education sessions presented at industry convenings. We monitor, investigate, and report back to our membership on the ever-changing landscape of taxes, immigration, licensing, insurance, and contract law. Representing the unique perspective of the artist manager, we serve on industry boards, advisory committees, program committees, and showcasing committees throughout the field. We were the first in the industry to create a standard with our Ethical Guidelines. Discounted legal services are available through your membership with NAPAMA’s Legal Affairs Advisor Brian Goldstein. Steered by an all-volunteer board, we are here to offer guidance, support, and assistance whenever possible. If you aren’t already member, I do hope you will consider joining this important network of colleagues to access a wealth of information and knowledge.

All the best,
Laura Colby, President
