Prepared by the Australia Council for the Arts through audience and market development - February 2010
THE MOST IMPORTANT PERFORMING ARTS PRESENTERS AND PRODUCERS IN ONE PLACE
Timed to coincide with the Adelaide Fringe and the Adelaide Festival in February 2010, the Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM) is a one-stop opportunity for the world's program-makers to experience the very best in new performing arts from the Australian region.
DON'T MISS OUT
APAM is an essential diary date for artists, companies, performers, agents, government and cultural organisations. It is the prime destination for promotion, networking and gaining an insight into Australia’s performing arts.
PERFECT TIMING
APAM is presented during late summer in one of the world’s great festival cities at the best possible time.
The Adelaide Fringe will be in full swing and the Adelaide Festival - one of the most important arts festivals in Australia - opens on APAM’s closing day. Here is the perfect environment for a stimulating performing arts market; you can network, do serious business and see more than 50 excerpts and full-length productions within five days.
YOUR HOSTS
APAM 2010 builds on the success of APAMs held biennially since 1994. APAM is funded by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts and the South Australian Government through Arts SA. It is presented with the invaluable support of the Adelaide Festival Centre and has been produced since 1998 by Arts Projects Australia.
APAM BENEFITS EVERYONE
APAM has won acclaim from the thousands of presenters, artists and arts organisations who have taken part in the eight markets held to date. The Event Manager can offer advice on how to make the most of your participation.
As an Australian performing artist, you could apply to take part in the Spotlight program or the Searchlight pitch sessions, promote your work via meetings and DVD screenings at an On Display exhibition 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 can develop relationships with artists, producers, presenters, venue managers, festival directors and more from around Australia, New Zealand and the world.
Through a series of breakfasts and cocktail parties, forums 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.
