Welcome to the Australia Council's 5th biennial Australian Performing Arts Market. Timed to coincide with the 2002 Adelaide Festival and Fringe, this is a one-stop opportunity for the world's program-makers to experience the very best of new works from the Australian region. The Market is a rare chance for artists and companies to connect with presenters and producers and explore new touring opportunities. Contemporary performing arts are presented in a remarkable showcase of productions, performances and displays that reflect the unique cultures, energy and creative diversity of a region whose contribution to the performing arts world far outweighs its relatively small population.

A must for programmers , artists, agents and cultural bodies, the industry and community-at-large, and mixing business with pleasure.

Here is the perfect environment for a vigorous and stimulating Arts Market. While attending the Market you will also be able to see Australian presentations within the main festival programs, with a number of significant performances scheduled to coincide with Delegates' visit to the Market.
