MEMBERS CODE OF CONDUCT
“The future of presenting must be bound by a mutuality of purpose, which recognizes that our success or failure must be shared.
No artist, presenter, or manager works alone.
No audience and community experience art without the collaborative efforts of artists and arts organisations.
No successful presenting occurs without the community as context.”
[Keen and Rhodes – An American Dialogue]
PAC AUSTRALIA VISION & PURPOSE
Our Vision is that all Australian communities are connected to stories that shape and reflect their lives, their culture and the places in which they live.
Our Purpose is to support and represent performing arts presenters and creators in Australia by providing leadership, building capacity and facilitating relationships that strengthens the connection between the art and the audience.
