- Performing arts presenters
A
performing arts presenting organization is an organization, or department or program of a larger organization, that works to facilitate exchanges between artists and audiences through creative, educational, and performance opportunities. The work that these artists perform is produced outside of the presenting organization. [http://www.urban.org/url.cfm?ID=410604]Varieties of presenters
Performing arts presenters are typically found in three varieties: 1. Those attached to a college, university, or other educational institution, with performances usually taking place on campus; 2. Those that are an administrative branch of a theater or concert hall, usually presenting performances only in that space; or 3. Those that are independently administered outside any specific venue, usually renting multiple venues for performances.
