Mission
The mission of Producer Hub is to provide independent producers and artists, at every level, with the community, mentorship, education and resources to create work, realize their full potential, and make lasting contributions to the performing arts field.
Our online resource is designed to showcase and support the wide variety of producing models that exist in the world of live performance through shared business and educational resources and networking.
While centered on the professional development of the producer, Producer Hub seeks to be a connective space for any stakeholder in the making of live performance, prioritizing exchange as a means of learning, and the facilitation of relationship building and best practices at all levels.

Values
Producer Hub is an organization that represents the changes that we want to see in the live performance field, as well as our core values as members of the industry, as members of society, and as citizens of the planet.
Producer Hub is a community that values transparency, equity, diversity, access and inclusion.
Producer Hub believes that education and the evolution of a producing practice is a life-long pursuit that should be fostered and supported by a community of like-minded collaborators.
Built on principles of peer-to-peer learning and transparency of practice, Producer Hub is an organization that aims to be responsive to its community of creative and independent producers, culture workers, artists, and presenters.
Through frequent communication, research, and surveys, our programming is designed to serve the community at every participant’s stage of development.

Vision
The creation of live performance sits at the intersection of many entities (artists, presenters, culture workers, and more), all of whom have different strengths and viewpoints. Independent producers have been stepping in for decades to address the gaps and challenges presented by this intersection.
This approach, which has grown organically and responsively across the industry, has cultivated a sense of isolation among independent producers, and we are not using our collective resources to the best of our abilities.
Creative and Independent Producer’s Alliance (CIPA)
Among independent producers, producing models are almost always bespoke, created to fit the specific needs of each project. The work of the producer at every level often happens in isolation and results in people across the industry reinventing the proverbial wheel over and over again. We believe that the way to move the field forward is through collaboration.
Producer Hub is our solution.
