In 2009, PACT developed a new vision and name, becoming PACT Centre for Emerging Artists. This was driven by the artists themselves, who were closer to 30 than 20 and did not necessarily identify as youth. In 2020, PACT reshaped its team to embrace a model of collaborative cultural leadership, appointing a group of exceptional artists as our Artistic Directorate. This new direction marked a return to the company’s original vision—to recognise the strength in collectivity, and to support emerging artists to develop new Australian work.
