Sibiu Performing Arts Market is an associated structure of
Sibiu International Theatre Festival (FITS) , aimed at granting opportunities for all artists, cultural managers, performing arts institutions or cultural networks to meet important producers from around the world. Through our events, we provide the context for the promotion of artistic projects and establishing collaborations, as well as for sharing and learning the most recent information in the performing arts field.
Since its first edition in 1997, Sibiu Performing Arts Market has developed into an important cultural network, facilitating connections between festivals and artists, performing arts, independent companies or public institutions. Every year, participants from all over the world, representing various cultural organizations (artistic management agencies, NGOs, public institutions, independent companies, etc.), meet in Sibiu and build connections as well as potential partnerships. At its last edition, the Market introduced its curated Pitch Project Session, receiving over 100 applications, from which only 10 were selected to pitch before a distinguished jury. This edition also marked a major transformation, as The Market rebranded as SIPAM, reinforcing its international presence. Networking remained at the core, fostering solid collaborations and meaningful industry connections.
This edition will take place between the 23th and the 26th of June 2025.
