In a year when more than 60 elections for national offices are happening worldwide, TIME Magazine has called this "the make-or-break year for democracy". "As an arts leader, I often find myself nestled in conversations that leave me on the margins, wishing that politicians could see the world as I do." explains Lisa Richards Toney, APAP President and CEO in her most recent column "A View from Here" in International Arts Manager Magazine #arts #politics #elections #election2024 #performingarts

APAP is proud to partner with NIVA - National Independent Venue Association and the rest of the Fix The Tix Coalition. This latest action is evidence that we need ticketing reform now more than ever. Let's end deceptive ticketing practices and pass the Fans First Act now! #fixthetix #fansfirstact
When Yelp’s integration with a scammy ticket reseller put fans, artists, and independent venues at risk with fake tickets and price-gouging, we took action. After we called this out, Yelp ended this deceptive practice. This is a win for the independent live community, but our work continues. NIVA remains committed to protecting independent stages and the artists who make live entertainment possible. Together, we’re making real change for our industry.
