NAVA: Touring – Summary of Good Practice recommendations

Showing and touring work connects artists with communities and audiences, enhances gallery programming and amplifies and celebrates investments in artists’ work.

This section covers good practice when setting up relationships between artists and exhibiting organisations. It can be used by artists participating in exhibitions and organisations showing artwork. Information included here covers exhibitions where visual arts, craft and design work is not for sale, for both single exhibitions and those touring to multiple venues, as well as festivals.

NAVA is a Membership organisation which brings together the many voices of the contemporary arts sector to improve fundamental conditions of work and practice. They do this through advocacy, education and the Code of Practice.
