Join presenters, producers and artists from across Queensland at the QShowcase: Arts Market + Conference.
Building on last year’s creatively fruitful CONNECT Conference + Showcase, QShowcase is the only statewide performing arts market by and for Queenslanders.
The program is due to feature keynotes, panels, workshops and Q&As with industry experts; networking between presenters, producers and artists; pitches and excerpts of exciting new work to tour; profiles and updates from local companies and artists; and a slew of performances from great artists to get us all talking.
Applications have closed for artists and producers to directly pitch new, existing and upcoming work to venues and presenters through several unique opportunities, including performing excerpts and providing profiles of your work.
