The Live DMA Observatory compiles resources created by Live DMA, alongside key European-level materials. It serves as a valuable tool for our members in their advocacy efforts and provides practical resources that venues, clubs, and festivals can use in their work. For additional national or local-level resources, visit our Database.
The Library is organized thematically, with each theme divided into the following categories:
- POLICY FRAMEWORK: International and supra-legal policy documents that support advocacy efforts.
- LIVE DMA POSITION: Statements and positions taken directly by Live DMA.
- STUDIES & REPORTS: Studies and reports conducted by Live DMA.
- OVERVIEW PER COUNTRY: Comparative analyses of specific topics across different countries, created by Live DMA.
- TOOLS FOR VENUES & FESTIVALS: Practical tools created by Live DMA for live music organizers.
- TO GO FURTHER: Resources from external European organizations relevant to the topic, or reports of Live DMA Working Groups which led to outputs displayed in the categories above.
