Honey Pot is Adelaide Fringe’s celebrated arts and performance market held every year throughout the festival, running 16 February to 18 March in 2018.

Presenters from all over the world can attend at any time, receive a tailor-made itinerary of shows to see and networking events to join, and effectively choose their own Adelaide Fringe adventure.

Honey Pot enables artists to showcase their work in its entirety, network with over 170 presenters from around the world and for many, secure tours, create new audiences and develop their careers in the process.

For countless companies, independent artists and producers, this boutique market has kick-started that first life changing conversation with a presenter who is on the hunt for the next big thing. Or the thing that is needed to enrich their program for 2018/2019 and beyond.

Be the next success story.

“…from both sides of the fence, as a new producer of work and as someone who collaborates with lots of artists and is seeking to produce more, and as an artist, Honey Pot is great…it’s one of the main reasons we presented work this year in Adelaide.”

Clare Bartholomew, Salvador Dinosaur, Melbourne

more touring opportunities more show commissions more collaborations with fellow artists more chances for artists to showcase their craft and more money in the pockets of artists!

“I really found Honey Pot to be an amazing experience…I felt like I made the most of my 8 days, squeezing in 23 shows and 10 artist meetings – always wish you could do more I think! But I certainly wouldn’t have been able to do this if it wasn’t for Honey Pot. ..Being out and about in the sunshine, having my brain stimulated and my soul fed by great conversations with artists and peers, and immersing myself in beautiful venues and wonderful shows (and lots of them) was simply the best.”

Marisa Cesario, Programming Coordinator, Gasworks Melbourne
