California Presenters, founded in 1985, is a statewide organization committed to advancing professional touring and presenting of the performing arts. As such, California Presenters pursues leadership, development and support of presenters, artists, artist managements and other arts organizations.
The Board of Directors actively governs the organization, supported by a quarter-time staff position.
Members of the organization include:
- Presenting organizations, including institutions of higher learning and the nonprofit community, state and regional public service organizations, such as museums, arts councils, city departments and performing arts centers, which have presentation of a performing arts program as their primary function;
- Affiliate Members such as artists and artists managements actively involved in touring and performing or in the representation of artists, attractions, films and lectures;
- Out-of-State Presenting Organizations (primarily from surrounding Western states);
- Special/Emeritus members as designated by Board of Directors.
Activities of the organization include an annual Artist Information Exchange (AIE) held each June to network with peers, learn who is touring, and discover new artists; Tour Update Meetings held at the annual Western Arts Alliance conference; a quarterly newsletter; e-mail bulletins to members; and a website.
