Membership Information
The membership of Arizona Presenters Alliance is divided into five classifications:
- Presenting Organizations
- Affiliate Organizations
- Associate Members
- Individual Members
- Business Members
A presenting organization is one that selects artists and arts groups, engages them to perform or exhibit, pays them a fee, and brings them together with audiences.
Presenting organizations also manage all the presentation details, from hall arrangements and stagehands to ushers, box office, and publicity. Some presenters house resident companies, and some commission and/or produce works as well. Presenting organizations are a crucial link between artists and audiences. Presenters provide many artist with their primary performance and exhibition opportunities, and they provide many audiences with their primary access to the arts.
