COLLECTING DATA FOR VENUES REPRESENTATION

We work on

Artistic, Cultural and Social front
We and the venues we represent, are deeply involved in the active sustain of artistic discovery, emergence and innovation, then working for cultural diversity and social impacts of the venues.
The venues are major contributors to the dynamic of artistic renewal on local, regional, national or international scales.
Political front
We want to be active to defend collectively the importance of live & practices music venues acting in the general interest along with public politics deals.

We collectively subscribe for cultural development and general interest and will together act to gain legitimacy on the European political level making bodies deal with legal matters concerning the popular music field in the European area.
Economic front
LIVE DMA partners represent initiatives (venues, club, equipment…) based on different sizes, leading different activities and running under different ways of economic and governance structure.

Our members are constructed on a mixed economy based on self-made incomes and public financing and work in a non-profit logic.

However, these initiatives are endangered by concentration phenomena. In this view the LIVE (DMA) partners appeal once again for cooperation processes between the public sector, the private sector and citizens.
