One year ago, we held #SOSFEST to generate awareness, advocacy, and donations for the NIVA Emergency Relief Fund, supporting our most at-risk members. 25 indie venues turned their lights on—for the first time in months—to host some of the most recognized names in the industry.
DO YOU MAKE SHOWS?
We're looking for more artists, presenters, and venues to join our pilot. If you've got events coming up this fall/winter and want to try a simpler, more equitable way to do digital ticketing, Gobo is for you. Check it:

Indoor theater is back, @HewittSTrib reports, amid changing safety rules -- some that might stick.
"Before, the mentality was, 'Oh, you're sick? Here's a bucket.' I don't think we're going to be able to do that anymore, and that's actually good."

NIVA applauds Congress and the Biden administration for making Juneteenth a federal holiday, an important symbolic step in recognizing the Black experience in our country. There is so much work to be done to change the racial health, wealth and opportunity gaps in our society.
“Hell yes” to live shows coming back!
“Hell naw” to dumb ticketing service fees!
Follow us for updates on a better, fairer way to buy and sell tickets…coming soon to a stage near you.

Meet Rick Hansen, Director of Booking at Historic Theatre Group!
Rick on why it's important to #SaveMNStages: "Live music brings people together and connects them on a level that is hard to explain in words. It’s a bond, a communal feeling you don’t get anywhere else..." (1/2)
We ❤️ NY ... plus, this is great advice for everyone in every city. #saveourstages #gotoshows
This past year was devastating for the New York arts scene, so we’ve teamed up with @SenSchumer to spread the word on what you can do to help bring the arts back to New York.
A special thank you to Senator Schumer yet again for continuing to stand up for the arts industry.
