Apply for funding support to attend the vibrant international performing arts market in Asia.
South Korea has a vibrant and diverse arts and culture scene that spans various art forms and disciplines. The Performing Arts Market in Seoul (PAMS) has been held in Seoul every October as a key Asian arts market for performing arts professionals domestically and internationally.
With Hallyu’s (“Korean Wave”) rising influence on global culture, the Australian sector has been actively engaging with South Korea through touring, exchange, and market gathering at PAMS since pre-pandemic. In addition to Korean showcase programs PAMS Choice and Link, PAMS 2024 offers a platform for networking and information exchange with artists, presenters, promoters and producers through the PAMS Pitching, Salon, Booth, Speed Date and Night.
Korea Arts Management Service (KAMS) will host PAMS 2024 from 8 to 11 October, at the National Theater of Korea, and the Seoul Namsan Gukakdang. PAMS 2024 is funded by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) Republic of Korea, and the Arts Council Korea (ARKO).
Creative Australia will support a delegation to attend PAMS. They also welcome any Australian artists and companies attending on a self-funded basis to join the delegation and any related networking activities.
Applicants are encouraged to consider extending their time in the region to undertake additional market or professional development activities beyond PAMS.
