The Australian Performing Arts Centres Association is the national peak body representing and supporting performing arts centres from the iconic Sydney Opera House to the remote Matt Dann Cultural Centre in Australia's vast North West.

We also support the development of performing arts in general throughout Australia with our rapidly growing associate membership including producing companies, touring organisations and funding bodies.

Annually APACA members present in excess 53 000 events, with over 11 million attendances, in an industry valued in excess of $1.1 billion.

APACA members have the lobbying and advocacy power of Australia's national performing arts peak body behind them when needed and in front of them leading the way with national strategic initiatives.
