Live Art UK

Live Art UK is a national network of venues, festivals and facilitators who collectively represent a range of practices and are concerned with all aspects of the development of the Live Art sector across the UK.

The network works together to create new models and partnerships for the promotion of Live Art; explores new ways to increase the national and international visibility of Live Art; initiates strategies for a more sustainable future for Live Art practitioners and promoters; and aims to provide a representative voice for the Live Art Sector in the UK.

Live Art UK is facilitated by LADA, with significant input from members.
