SALON is Arts on Tour’s key annual industry event that builds relationships between NSW and ACT artists, producers and presenters, creating opportunities for touring and partnerships.

Artists and producers can submit an EOI to pitch their work at the half-day event, and to be included in the Salon booklet, circulated to venues and presenters to assist them in finding new work.

Selected artists and producers will be given the opportunity to deliver a short pitch about their work, its creative vision, viability for touring and unique offering to regional audiences. Independent artists who aren’t selected to pitch can still attend the event free-of-charge.

Alongside artists and producers, selected venue presenters will pitch their organisation: their programming aspirations and approach, their audiences, capacity and partnership opportunities.  Salon also includes a networking session - where all attendees will have the opportunity to meet and discuss their work and programming.

"Salon is an invaluable resource for independent artist and producers. The networking, the advice, as well as the chance to showcase work, particularly for a regional artist, is priceless. I have learnt so much, as well as making lasting connections with other artists from all over NSW. I can’t wait for the next one."
