It was a privilege to host you all in Boorloo/Perth this February for the Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM).
We heard pitches from artists across Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand, listened to provocations and keynotes from leading minds across the live performance sector, networked from morning coffees to late night hang outs and spent the week grounded in culture, exchange and connection, supported by our Traditional Owners in residence.
Thank you for being part of APAM 2026 and for contributing to our international arts community. We hope you had the opportunity to discover new work, exchange ideas and build meaningful relationships.
We look forward to welcoming you back in 2028.
