6PAC delivers a low cost, non funded touring model that supports a healthy network of small to medium sized council run performing arts centre’s throughout Victoria known as Victorian Association of Performing Arts Centre’s (VAPAC). 6PAC serves to compliment the vibrant touring program offered by Regional Arts Victoria (RAV) and does so without needing to add further pressure to the annual Arts Victoria Touring Victoria funding program.

| 6PAC aims to promote the type of product that usually doesn’t appear in suburban and regional venues. The diversity of the product toured by 6PAC plays a major role in the audience development strategies for the participating VAPAC venues. 6PAC sources the majority of our touring product from a number of avenues including La Mama, The Arts Centre’s Full Tilt program, VAPAC Show Case, 3MBS Artists in Residence program and submissions from independent producers.
6PAC is not just about touring, 6PAC plays a major role in building capacity for performers, artists and producers by supporting, assisting and educating the performers on how to get the most out of their 6PAC tour. 6PAC takes no fee for coordinating the tours and each of the venues involved enter into their own contract with the performers. The buy-in fee is negotiated by 6PAC and only includes the presentation of the performance.
When involved in a 6PAC tour, the performers are entering a partnership that empowers them to take greater responsibility for their own future by understanding the processes required to undertake a tour through this network. This is achieved by the performers taking a lead role in their contract negotiations, which includes arranging marketing material and travel and accommodation costs with each venue coordinator. This is a great way for both parties to develop a relationship that paves the way to future opportunities and partnerships.
