U.S. Artist Visas and International Travel in the Age of COVID: Latest Update

***This event has passed and the replay is now available.***

After more than a year of canceled, postponed, or reimagined performances, U.S. arts organizations, presenters, and agents have resumed programming and planning for the 2021-22 season, only to find the U.S. is not quite ready to open our borders for all international artists.

In this free 75-minute webinar, on Thursday, September 9 from 3:00-4:15 p.m (EDT), experts from Tamizdat and the hosts of ArtistsfromAbroad.org – the Association of Performing Arts Professionals and the League of American Orchestras – will:

  • Describe what it takes to secure U.S. artist visas and navigate COVID-19 travel restrictions right now.
  • Cover what the current and long-term policy environment means for seeking more equitable opportunities to support international cultural activity.

How we "FIX the TIX": An update on combating deceptive ticketing practices

In this special APAP members-only briefing on Tuesday, May 23 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. (EDT), get the latest updates on how the industry is collectively advocating for stronger protections for primary ticket sellers, artists and fans, discuss how presenters, venues and artists are impacted, and learn what steps members and the field are taking to navigate the challenges.

Joining the discussion will be Dayna Frank, Co-Founder of the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) and Kevin Erickson, Director of the Future of Music Coalition, among others from the current "Fix the Tix" Coalition, a broad coalition of live event industry organizations and professionals who have formed to collectively advocate for a ticketing experience better than the nightmare many fans and artists currently navigate. With representation from venues, promoters and producers, the performing arts, artists groups, recorded music, and independent ticketing companies, this coalition represents stakeholders who take on all the risk to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences and bring joy, employment, and economic impact to communities across America.
