How to Use The Market
APAM has won critical acclaim from the thousands of presenters, artists and arts organisations who have taken part in the six markets held to date. The Event Manager can offer advice on how to make the most of your participation.

As a performing artist, you could apply to take part in Spotlight, promote your work via meetings and video screenings at an On Display booth, or register as a delegate and network with the many venue managers and producers in attendance, or perhaps even meet other artists with whom you can collaborate in the future.

As a booth holder or a delegate, buyer or seller, you will be able to develop relationships with artists, producers, presenters, venue managers, festival directors and more from around Australia, New Zealand and the world.

Through a series of cocktail parties, networking events, briefing sessions and interaction with Spotlight artists and On Display exhibitors, buyers and sellers alike will have a unique opportunity to engage with a range of national and international participants.
