STREET ARTS NEXUS
A network of US professionals fostering the presentation of high-caliber, artistically daring live performances in public spaces across the U.S., while supporting the international visibility and mobility of US artists making this work.
US STREET ARTS QUESTIONNAIRE FOR PRESENTERS
Street Arts—also known as Outdoor Arts or Performance in Public Spaces—are among the most vital, democratic, and exhilarating art forms alive today and practiced globally. At its core, this category of performance encompasses work that would be impossible to do indoors: performances where the outdoor environment becomes an active actor, where scale and the elements push the boundaries of what’s possible. Such performances might welcome disruption, with audience engagement being not just encouraged but intrinsic. They are open to—and often embrace—the unpredictable forces of weather, urban life, and nature itself. In this work, the audience is an inextricable part of the creative context, and the venue is not just a setting but a collaborator in the storytelling. Research shows that this art form draws huge, diverse audiences, often far beyond the reach of historically indoor and ticketed performing arts. For many, these performances serve as their first entry-point into the world of live arts.
STREET ARTS NEXUS aims to elevate this valuable and highly effective arts sector through:
- Collaborative tour routing for international productions and shared resources such as a touring database of productions, international travel cost sharing in flights, visas, and freight.
- Advocating for Federal/State/Municipal level funding necessary for the arts in public spaces to flourish
- Educating and fostering international reciprocal exchange of practice, including intensives abroad and in the US, and workshops with touring artists in the US in conjunction with the routed tours
- Serving as a forum for discussions and exchange between members
To this end, We are gathering information to better understand the current state, impact, and barriers facing the Street Arts sector in the U.S. Your responses will directly inform a strategic initiative aimed at building visibility, infrastructure, and support for outdoor and site-specific performance across the country. Thank you for taking the time to contribute.
Thank you for taking the time to contribute. We will share the results with you when report is ready.
