Australian Performing Arts Exchange (APAX) 2025

The Australian Performing Arts Exchange is the national market and professional development gathering for performing arts workers across Australia. Develop tours, cultivate relationships, and deliver to audiences nation-wide.

Supporting the right work to reach the right audience, at the right time.

“There’s something special about coming together as a sector in a location like Garramilla / Darwin, where the location is just a bit more remote – the connections always seem to run much deeper. At APAX in 2025, the winter coats are packed away and the city is alive with the hum of a festival. Add to that the passion infused by the artists in the APAX arts market, conversations with colleagues about what matters most to you at work, and the opportunity to spark new ideas that could change everything.” – Katherine Connor, Executive Director

The 2025 Australian Performing Arts Exchange (APAX) is set to arrive in the tropical Top End for our next instalment in beautiful Garramilla/Darwin from 11-15 August – just in time to also experience all on offer in the first week of Darwin Festival, thanks to our hosts at Darwin Entertainment Centre.
