“Such a warm, generous and down to earth environment which really paved the way for openness, active listening and connection.” – 2023 Participant

Want to learn more about touring? Arts on Tour presents a jam-packed full-day workshop each year that introduces the essentials to getting a show on the road.

The next Tour Lab will be held on Thursday 10 October at East Sydney Community & Arts Centre (ESCAC), Darlinghurst. BOOK HERE.

Tour Lab provides practical advice, information and resources, as well as networking opportunities for independent artists, producers, and companies who are new to touring or want to learn what it takes to get a show on the road.

Each year, the program includes venue managers, experienced independent touring artists and the Arts on Tour team to answer your questions. We cover a range of topics including: selling your production to venue managers, budgeting your tour, grants and more.

The event is followed by drinks and an opportunity to continue the conversations started during the day.

“All the sessions were as I hoped; relevant, incredibly informative, practical and enjoyable. They have provided me with the tools I need to move towards organising a successful tour in the near future.” – 2023 Participant
