Welcome to ISAN

ISAN is an independent group of producers, presenters, promoters and artists working in outdoor arts from the UK and Ireland. We develop the outdoor arts sector through networking, lobbying, information-sharing, training, research, and advocacy support and advice for our members. We are committed to supporting outdoor arts in all its forms and advocating its benefits and practice.

Our Next Conference:
Isan conferences are hugely important to the health and development of the organisation and the sector.

Held every two years the next will take place in November 2011, the venue will be announced early next year.

The conference creates an environment for discussion, debate and exchange of information that encourages the renewing of old, and the establishment of new, partnerships between promoters, artists and strategic organisations. Successful touring and commissioning partnerships are the essential frameworks for the development of new and existing work, the very building blocks of the outdoor arts sector.
