Public-sector grade. Every booking.
ICO-registered. Procurement-ready.
Local authorities face procurement requirements that most entertainment agencies simply cannot meet. ARTATVA was built with institutional buyers in mind from day one.
Purchase-order workflows built in
Submit a booking against a PO number. Invoice and audit pack auto-generate on delivery. Your finance team has everything — signed SOW, PLI certificate, and DBS ref — before the contractor is paid.
Brass bands, choirs, cultural acts
Traditional brass bands, community choirs, cultural dance troupes, and solo entertainers for Christmas markets, civic ceremonies, and public celebrations — all on the verified roster.
Inclusive programming across all communities
Bharatanatyam dancers, spoken-word poets, visual artists from diverse cultural traditions — filtered by city and discipline so you programme for your borough.
Diverse, representative roster
ARTATVA actively recruits artists from underrepresented backgrounds. Every brief can specify cultural or linguistic requirements and our matching engine honours them.
Backup performer pre-assigned
A civic event in front of 2,000 residents cannot fail. Every booking has a pre-assigned backup at the same quality and compliance level, activated on any confirmed cancellation within 4 hours.
ICO-registered data controller
ARTATVA Ltd is an ICO-registered data controller. Standard DPA available on request. GDPR compliance documentation lands in your booking vault alongside the artist compliance bundle.

What council procurement teams ask.
Does ARTATVA support purchase-order procurement?
Yes. Council and institutional accounts can raise a PO before booking confirmation. Invoice and full audit pack auto-generate on delivery.
Are all artists DBS-checked to Enhanced level?
Artists working in regulated or public-facing settings hold Enhanced DBS certificates. Standard checks cover general public event performers. The brief specifies which level is required.
How does ARTATVA handle a public liability claim?
Every ARTATVA artist carries a minimum £5m PLI policy. The PLI certificate is attached to every booking. Claims go directly through the artist's insurer; ARTATVA provides documentation support.
Can we specify cultural or accessibility requirements?
Yes. Include cultural, language, accessibility, or demographic requirements in the brief. The matching engine applies them as hard filters before returning the shortlist.
