If you are an established artist who has chosen to settle in the Midwest, GLPAA can help you perform when and where you want. Contact us to see if GLPAA is the right fit for you.
We Provide Critical Career Development Services
GLPAA helps our artists set their fees as well as define and meet their professional goals. We attend industry conferences on their behalf. Our annual artists retreat includes professional development, master classes, and networking opportunities. We evaluate the artist’s marketing materials, website design, and social media presence, and help to keep them top of mind with our extensive list of presenters. Take a look at our current roster.
Our Artists are Education Focused
We are particularly interested in artists who are committed to education and community outreach. A cornerstone of our organization’s mission is our CARAVAN program, which strives to nurture the appreciation for the performing arts, through assemblies, masterclasses, and side-by-side performing experiences. We help artists develop engaging programs and materials that will increase their marketability and community impact.

What Artists Say
“As we enter a new season, I pause to reflect on what a wonderful year this has been for me, and how GLPAA has helped make it so. A few short years ago you decided to take a chance on an untested, inexperienced young guitarist, and over the years you have nurtured my career and brought me a good measure of recognition. The work that GLPAA has done for me has been invaluable, and probably would not have been available to me through any other agency.”
