Arts on Tour is one of Australia’s most prolific performing arts touring service organisations. Our overarching purpose is to sustainably bring culturally distinctive and resonant arts experiences to audiences and communities across the country, and to deliver a program of events and initiatives that build the sector’s touring capacity and lead on best practice.
Responding to the climate crisis and reducing touring emissions is a major focus: Arts on Tour led on, with wide-ranging sector input, the development of the award-winning Green Touring Toolkit (Australian version).
