Western Arts Alliance (Waa)

Western Arts Alliance (WAA) is a membership association of touring and performing arts professionals who have been engaged since 1967 in promoting and presenting performance throughout the western states and provinces. The Western Arts Alliance Annual Conference is the premier gathering of arts professionals in the West, and offers rewarding opportunities in business, networking, discovery and education for members and nonmembers alike. WAA’s innovative marketplace, The Commons, provides access to information on thousands of artists, renowned social events, showcase performances, and insightful educational sessions and speakers through WAA’s Professional Development Institute. This performing arts marketplace, traditionally held around Labor Day weekend, convenes WAA members and other arts professionals to strengthen their knowledge of the field, cultivate relationships, explore new work, and build leads.
