This year, January In NYC (Jan. 3-22) offers a dozen events, from public festivals to professional conferences, spotlighting the newest and most exceptional in theater, dance, opera and music, and taking place around the 60thannual Association of Performing Arts Presenters conference (APAP;NYC 2017, Jan. 6-10) and preconference (Jan. 5-6).

WHEN:

WHAT:
January In NYC offers 12 public festivals and performing arts industry events with more than 1,500 world-class showcases and full-length performances, concerts and public programs, conferences, keynote speakers, professional development and boundless networking opportunities.

WHERE:
At performance venues and meeting rooms in more than 350 locations throughout Manhattan and beyond. See list below, and JanuaryInNYC.org for individual websites.

WHY:
January In NYC grew organically as live arts festivals and professional events were scheduled around APAP;NYC, the annual convening of the Association of Performing Arts Presenters, which will celebrate 60 years in 2017. Organizers of events built on the concentration of artists and presenters already traveling to New York for APAP;NYC. In January 2014, nine such organizations formed a deliberate collaboration to more effectively and efficiently serve the performing arts industry. A dozen groups now comprise the partnership, some of which were incubated at APAP;NYC and grew to become some of New York’s most anticipated live performing arts festivals and forums each year.

WHO:
January In NYC comprises the following 12 organizations/events (in date order). A list of performance highlights follows the festival and forum listings. Photos are available from cmiller@artspresenters.org or each event. All press materials distributed jointly by January In NYC partner organizers are on the APAP;NYC press page. Performance and festival ticketing, and conference registration, is managed by each event.
