Do you have a work of live performance art that is either the beginning of an idea, a work in development, a show ready to premiere, or something set to tour the country and the globe?

Applications are open for artists and/or producers looking to pitch and showcase work at the PANNZ Arts Market in 2026.

The Performing Arts Network of New Zealand (PANNZ) Arts Market is Aotearoa/New Zealand's premiere event for artists, producers, presenters and industry leaders from across the performing arts sector.

PANNZ Arts Market 2026 will take place across three days in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), from Wednesday 4 - Friday 6 March and provides opportunities for artists to present their work through pitches or wheako/experiences of their work.

The three-day event will feature talks, ideas and discussions to provide a platform for connection, and collaboration on the themes and priorities currently faced by our sector. 

THE CURATED PROGRAMME
PANNZ will consult with a panel of national and international industry representatives to help us select pitch and wheako artists. Work will be selected through rigorous assessment of the application information provided. The panel will look for work that represents the breadth of the performing arts sector in Aotearoa, bringing collective knowledge, experience and insight to the assessment process.

Please apply as early as possible, as late applications will not be accepted.
