Each year performing artists and their representatives apply to showcase at Pacific Contact, BC Live’s annual showcase conference for the performing arts. We invite artists and artistic companies interested in touring in BC in 2026-2027 or 2027-2028 to apply.

BC Live last hosted Pacific Contact on Granville Island in 2000, 25 years ago, and we are thrilled to be back in Vancouver on October 2-5.

There will be 27 x 15-minute showcases, including 6 Family Showcases featuring a variety of genres.

Pacific Contact also features Pitch & Performs, 5-minute showcasing and pitch opportunities. Pitch & Performs are selected by the same selection committee as the main stage showcases.
