Jobs at National Independent Venue Association (NIVA)

As the nation’s live entertainment association, NIVA’s mission is to preserve and nurture the ecosystem of independent performance venues, promoters, and festivals throughout the United States. Our stages are the center of live performance in every community, including music, comedy, theater, spoken word, and dance. Founded in March 2020, NIVA secured the passage of the Save Our Stages Act, resulting in $16.25 billion of relief for the independent live entertainment sector—the largest arts investment in U.S. history. In 2023, NIVA expanded its focus to cultivate and elevate the sector through increased national advocacy, marketing initiatives to boost independent stages, group discounts for members, and collective action on behalf of its members nationwide.

The National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) is committed to equity in their support and advocacy for independent stages, and seeks to create and encourage opportunities for venues, promoters, and festivals owned, operated, and staffed by people of color, women, non-binary, LGBTQ+, veterans, and people with disabilities. NIVA is committed to creating and upholding a safe space for its members and staff where respectful conversations around diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility can continue to happen.
