Arts Live is a network of venues and promoters hosting performing arts events across Dumfries & Galloway to create a diverse year-round programme. We aim to be a supportive and trusted organisation that works in partnership with you to facilitate the programming of quality touring performing arts in the region.

The Arts Live Programme aims are to:

• Increase access to quality touring theatre & performing arts in Dumfries & Galloway year-round.

• Arrange supported tours in Dumfries & Galloway, to be promoted in partnership with member organisations.
• Have two open call-outs per year for our Support for Ambition scheme, underwriting promoters against financial loss to promote quality performing arts.
