Arts Midwest

The Midwest Arts Conference is one of the largest convenings in the nation for performing artists, artist managers/agents, theater and facility managers, and arts administrators from throughout the United States and beyond, and provides a platform for these performing arts professionals to come together for an educational and motivational four days focused on promoting and presenting live touring performing arts.

• The Conference is committed to providing a productive and energized environment where attendees come together to connect and collaborate, which is more important than ever in the current business climate. We provide the platform for attendees to:
  • Expand your networks of performing arts colleagues, resources, and opportunities
  • Learn new skills and gain valuable insights into issues relevant to your work in the performing arts
  • Present your or your artists’ work to a large and diverse audience of potential buyers
  • Discover artists in the Marketplace exhibit hall and at live performances
  • Create dynamic performing arts experiences for artists and audiences
  • Invest in strengthening your organizational capacity and flexibility

• The Conference is managed by Arts Midwest and serves the 15 states represented by Arts Midwest and Mid-America Arts Alliance. The Midwest Arts Conference is proud to participate in the Network of Regional Performing Arts Conferences.
