- Artists and presenters have an opportunity to meet to discuss availability, interest, fees and collaborations
- Showcase brings together community presenters for creative solutions, commiseration and networking
- Showcase allows artists to demonstrate their passion
The Arts Touring Alliance of Alberta (ATAA) fosters a strong arts touring industry. The membership network comprises artists, community presenters and agents who identify and share common concerns and strengths.
The ATAA also produces the Touring Directory – an invaluable resource for anyone trying to locate and book artists in Alberta. Hard copies of the Directory are distributed to all ATAA members and are available for purchase at $35. The Directory is also available online, with links to individual artists’ information.
By joining the ATAA you are eligible for substantial discounts around Alberta Showcase, receive our monthly newsletter deTour, secure a Touring Directory and have access to the membership section of our website.
Membership is $50 / year.
