PACT’s vision is driven by the belief that emerging artists are the engines that power the arts sector, producing the most ground-breaking works of today and tomorrow. For almost 60 years PACT has provided performance makers with the time, space, and professional development needed to advance their artistic careers and drive forward the performance culture of Australia. Since 1964, PACT has been situated on the unceded land of the Gadigal people. We are privileged to gather and create art on their land and would like to pay our respect to elders past and present. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
PACT is committed to the health and well-being of our employees, artists, and visitors.
Animal/pets: Unfortunately due to landlord restrictions, we are unable to allow dogs into our venue (including the courtyard space) with the exception of guide dogs and therapy dogs.
