Each year, the event is attended by artists, agents, arts advocacy and service organizations, as well as presenting organizations from throughout Montana, from as far as Sidney to Libby and Eureka to Gardiner. The conference features juried showcase performances by 17 different artists from all over North America, a trade-show style exhibit hall, networking events, and professional development workshops. Attending artists represent genres ranging from comedy to classical music and from tap to tribute shows. \nMPAC’s showcases make up the main event of its Artist Showcase & Conference, a business event that connects Montana venues and presenting organizations with performing artists from around the world. It is a unique opportunity for community leaders and concert planners to see live performances and talk to artists and agents in preparation for planning and booking the next season’s performances. Communities throughout Montana rely on this event to bring high caliber performing arts experiences to their stages and schools. \n\n“We book our entire season from the wonderful showcase artists that perform at the annual MPAC block booking conference,” says Misty Annala, board member of Judith Arts Society in Hobson, Montana. “It gives us a chance to hear the artists perform live, meet them face-to-face, and work with other presenters to block-book tours. We would not have direct access to this level of artistry without the MPAC conference. At a time when the schools in our county are struggling to find music teachers, we are also able to bring artists into the schools to provide a rich experience for the students. Those educational outreach opportunities are highly valued by the students and staff. MPAC is a vital link between our rural communities and the performing arts.” \n\n
