Six New Partners Join NPN

The National Performance Network (NPN) recently announced the approval of six new Partner organizations to our national Network. On July 1, 2025, BOOM Concepts (Pittsburgh, PA); Double Edge Theatre (Ashfield, MA); Oglala Lakota Artspace (Kyle, SD); Rainbow Serpent (Pittsburgh, PA); SLIPPAGE; and TeAda Productions (Los Angeles, CA and Micronesia) joined NPN’s joyous community of learning and practice.

NPN’s network includes more than 50 National Partners in 31 states and 47 communities; dozens of co-commissioning presenters across the U.S.; more than 30 fiscally-sponsored artist projects in New Orleans and beyond; and thousands of artists who have received NPN support.

NPN is unique compared to other traditional service organizations because its curates a network of more than 60 national Partners committed to presenting new work, advancing artist equity, engaging responsively and responsibly in their communities, and working collectively to bring about systems change in our sector.

By growing its Network during a time of uncertainty, NPN continues to build the infrastructure and community necessary to transform the relationships between artists and presenters and advance liberation and justice in the arts, research and performance sectors.  SLIPPAGE will be presenting at NPN’s annual conference in New Orleans, and is proud to learn and grow among this thoughtful and transformative group of colleagues.
