FOR ARTISTS
Are you an emerging artist? We want to know you!
We believe that the best art is made by valuing the people that make it happen. That we create meaningful impact by making long-lasting connections between Traditional Owners, artists, arts workers and our community; and that a culture of accessibility and respect for diversity makes us stronger.
The courage to discover new ways of doing things invigorates our artmaking and our organisation.
We invite you to be part of PACT. Let’s make things happen… together.
Getting Involved at PACT

Technician Training
PACT’s technician training program offers peer-to-peer workshops in rigging, programming, lighting, sound, WHS, customer service and venue management for emerging techs or those looking to refresh their knowledge.
We encourage emerging artists from all disciplines to get involved – our crew is an awesome community of musicians, filmmakers, performers, and makers of all kinds who also work BOH.
Open technician positions are advertised on our socials.
Residencies
Our residencies give emerging artists valuable studio space, dedicated mentorship, technical and producing support to develop a project.
Offered annually via an open call for Expressions of Interest, the program is for artists exploring experimental and contemporary performance practice, with residents chosen by PACT’s team of Associate Artists.
Subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on social media to be informed of our next callout.

PACT is staffed by a team of people who bring producing, touring, design, production management, marketing, grant writing, and dramaturgical expertise... and our office door is always open! We encourage artists to make use of our courtyard during office hours for co-working and to drop in anytime for a yarn.

PRESENTATION
PACT’s hardworking theatre, gallery, and courtyard present 100 shows each year.
Seeing other people’s work across a breadth of artistic practice is an important way to build your professional knowledge and meet future collaborators. This is why we say, PACT is where artists meet and new discoveries are made!
