COOPERATIVE VOICE IN A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS

NAPAMA is a community for and by arts professionals to facilitate better business. We are a space where agents, managers, self-represented artists, presenters, and other arts workers can get informed about the performing arts industry, find support, and develop relationships that enhance our daily working lives, and collectively make our field better for all. Education, empowerment, and advocacy for change come from our members, and whether a solo or part of a team, we welcome your voice.

We connect, we share, we mentor, we grow. Together.

WELCOME TO NAPAMA

North American Performing Arts Managers and Agents (NAPAMA) is a not-for-profit service organization dedicated to creating better business in live performing arts.

 

Every constituency in the performing arts deserves to be seen and heard. NAPAMA was founded to represent and amplify the voices and needs of agents and managers at a time where their work was not well understood or appreciated. The industry has changed greatly in the decades since and with it who we serve, but the need for a collective voice and for cooperation continues to be critical across all aspects of this diverse field.
