Arts on Tour: Green Touring

Based on Gadigal land in Redfern, Arts on Tour is one of Australia’s most prolific touring service organisations for the performing arts and the peak body for touring in NSW. They work with NSW-based makers and presenting venues nationally to deliver a culturally and artistically diverse Annual Touring Program that reaches over 100,000 audience members across Australia each year. They are widely recognised for leading on touring best practice, with a Sector Development Program of initiatives and events that aims to build the touring capacity of the sector as a whole and maximise the impact of our activity in the communities we work with.

AOT started the Green Touring Initiative in late 2020 with the aim of providing tools and strategies for the sector to reduce emissions in the making and touring of work, so that the positive impacts of touring activity at a community level don’t cost the planet.
