Live Art UK brings together key promoters and facilitators to support and develop the Live Art infrastructure for the benefit of artists and audiences.

The Live Art UK network explores new models and partnerships for the promotion of Live Art; develops new ways to increase the national and international visibility of Live Art; initiates strategies for a more sustainable future for Live Art practitioners and promoters; and aims to provide a representative voice for the Live Art Sector in the UK.

From 2005 to 2008 Live Art UK received funding from Arts Council England to support a two-year programme of projects and activities, Into Action, which included critical writing initiatives, touring commissions, and networking events.

Since the completion of Into Action, Live Art UK is primarily maintained by support from its members, and future initiatives and activities will be subject to fundraising.

In 2009 Live Art UK is undertaking a series of Case Studies to ‘make the case’ for Live Art and create a resource for artists, promoters and others working in the sector Live Art UK.
