Arts Market
Brisbane is calling. The work is ready. Are you?
Our 2026 APAX Arts Market program is here.
Jam packed with ready to program new work from 58 of Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand’s leading companies and independent artists.
From astonishing circus and physical theatre, genre-bending contemporary music, bold First Nations storytelling, to immersive and participatory experiences, every work programmed puts audiences first, with something for every presenter and every community.
Whatever brings you to APAX, you won’t be leaving empty-handed.
