Independent Promoter Alliance

The Independent Promoter Alliance (IPA) is a 501c6, non-profit organization that was born out of the global Covid-19 pandemic that has decimated the live entertainment industry, which projects to be one of the last industries to recover.  IPA members include several hundred small businesses that book and produce live entertainment throughout the country, and as “independents,” they are not financially supported by larger companies, so they are in desperate need of your help!

While events continue to be postponed and canceled, it creates a snowball effect on our industry.  Independent promoters employ thousands of full-time and part-time staff nationwide including marketing teams, graphic designers, ticket builders, production staff, security personnel, police, medics, catering companies, stagehands and many others.  Promoters are often responsible for bringing your new favorite artist to an intimate venue where you live and for helping these artists gain recognition in your community.  Although they frequently work behind the scenes, these taste-makers are instrumental in bringing the arts to nearly every city in America.

Keep Our Shows Alive is an initiative to bring much needed relief to help our members stay in business, pay staff and survive. All donations are appreciated and any amount will help.
