Showcase Victoria is the state’s premier performing arts market—a dedicated two-day event connecting the creators of tour ready work and the venues that bring that work to life for their communities. Whether you are looking to fill a 2027 season or find the perfect partner for a premiere, this is where the connections are made that put live performance on stages across the state.
Why Attend?
For Presenters & Programmers: Curate your future seasons with confidence
This event offers an efficient way to see, hear, and experience a broad range of high-quality, tour-ready work across all genres in one location. It is designed for venue programmers, heads of arts and culture, and technical or operations managers involved in bringing performances to life.
