The Atlantic Presenters Association (APA) is the regional arts presenter's organization for the four Atlantic Provinces: Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. It is a leader in the presentation of the performing arts and promotes the development of performing arts touring in the Atlantic region. The APA's flagship event, Contact East, is an annual performing arts conference hosted in Atlantic Canada. The APA's mission is to enable our members to enhance, promote, and facilitate diverse, quality live performances, and to provide an exchange of best practices and ideas. The organization envisions a membership network that is active and successful in engaging artists and audiences in their communities, and is recognized as such.
