SECTOR INITIATIVES
INITIATIVES
Arts on Tour’s sector development program leads on best practice in touring, connects artists, companies and presenters, and builds touring capacity to support a sustainable arts sector. Current initiatives are:
- Green Touring
- Salon
- Tour Lab
- Tour Well
- Backroads Initiative
AOT started the Green Touring Initiative in 2019 with the aim of providing tools and strategies to minimise emissions and work towards carbon neutral touring, so that the positive impacts of our touring activity at a community level don’t cost the planet. The outcomes of this Initiative, The Green Touring Toolkit and accompanying resources, and Arup's emissions calculator Circulate, were launched in 2022.
Tour Well is Arts on Tour's mental health initiative, aimed at providing best practice touring practices in relation to mental health on the road. Working in collaboration with the Arts Wellbeing Collective we have developed the resource Tour Well for Tour Managers. We are also committed to hosting regular Mental Health First Aid Training courses for NSW-based companies.

TOURING LAB
We're done for 2022! Thanks for attending.
Stay tuned for dates in 2023.
The Tour Lab covers practical advice on how to get your work on the road, including budgeting and a venue perspective on programming and audience engagement. There's lots of opportunity to ask questions from experienced teams and venue managers and much more!
SALON
SALON Sydney Tuesday 26, 2022 July
The Rebel Theatre 2pm - 5pm
EOIs open Monday 2nd May, 2022
Our regional SALON takes place later in the year. Watch this Space!
Do you have a show ready to take on tour? Are you interested in seeing other work ready to tour? Would you like the opportunity to pitch your work ? SALON is a meeting place - a conversation starter for NSW producers and presenters, regional and metro, without the bells and whistles of a full blown showcase.
Join our mailing list and FaceBook page to keep up to date as we announce future SALONS.
