Sharing Our GPA (Great Performances’ Artists)
40 years ago we started as a company to provide women in the arts with an income so they could pursue their artistic dreams. Today, we renew that commitment for all individuals at Great Performances. We’re launching GPA, Great Performances’ Artists, to showcase the talent of our staff and share their art. From singers and songwriters to film and documentary makers, we have hundreds of talented individuals who are eager to share their craft with you.
We’re constantly updating our list, so check back often — and if you like what they do or would like them to perform at your next virtual (or live!) event, drop us a line at celebratefood@greatperformances.com.
