SALON 2026

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. In 2026, SALON will encompass two events – SALON 2026 and the SALON Mixer – presented in partnership with Seymour Centre Sydney across 21-22 July. Registration is available for individual events as well as bundled for attendance at both. In partnership with Seymour Centre, Arts on Tour is excited to present the Salon Mixer, an industry gathering the evening prior to Salon. This is the first whole-of-sector social event in years – and a rare opportunity to bring artists, producing organisations, venues, and industry champions based in Sydney together with artists and venues coming to Salon from across the state. It’s more than a networking event; it’s a chance to reconnect and celebrate the community that we are all a part of and the people who bring live performance to life. Enjoy canapes and drinks in an atmosphere designed for conversation. To keep the event intimate and conducive to real connection, capacity is strictly limited. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this milestone evening before the main event of Salon in 2026! Registrations open 9am. Event commences 10am. Discover more than 35 productions and projects from producers across almost every artform, from dance, music and cabaret, to immersive and interactive, puppetry, family entertainment and narrative theatre. Producers will be joined on stage by leading companies and venues with updates from their projects and communities, sector initiatives, and special guest speakers.
