International Society for the Performing Arts
![](/media/2011/5/ISPA.jpeg)
The International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA) is a not-for-profit international network of performing arts professionals who come together with the shared goal of strengthening the arts internationally by building leadership ability, recognising and discussing field-wide trends and deepening global exchange through the arts.
ISPA is a network of over 350 individuals, organisations and institutions from more than 40 countries around the world. Members include some of the world's most significant presenting organisations, independent artists, performing arts organisations, artist managers, cultural policy groups, foundations, consultants, and many others who share the desire to advance the field of the performing arts on a global scale.
While the idea of global interconnectedness is currently gaining ground, this is something ISPA and its founder Patrick Hayes have quietly understood and embodied since its founding in 1949. As an organisation, ISPA's constant goal is to provide the best possible support, information and opportunities for collegial exchange to our members throughout the world.
