Why Attend

Performing arts presenting is about all the ways of connecting artists, their work with audiences and engaging communities in live performance. For the individual participant, APAP|NYC offers 5 amazing days to make all those connections and more – more performances (showcases, festivals, and events) by more artists in more genres and styles, and opportunities to meet the artists, managers, agents, presenters and producers. Plus it’s the place to network, learn about latest trends and practices, build your enterprise, and get a lot of business done.
