The ALT Pitch Platform comes to Hastings

A brand new arts and technology festival that explores the relationship between the digital world and humanity is coming to Hastings.

The ALT Pitch Festival is a week of exciting performances and supporting events that will provoke thoughts and debates, bring together creativity and innovation, question our daily use of technology, and leave the audience searching for answers.

ALT Pitch will kick things off with Platform, an event hosted at Station Plaza on Friday 20th March, from 10am-5pm. The event will give people the opportunity to find out a little more about the festival and let them know how they can get involved.

The all-day event will stimulate creativity within the business community, the wider involvement of the workforce in creative activities, the connection between the business and artistic objectives and the ability of the businesses to see their activity in a wider cultural and social perspective.

Anastasia Witts, Executive Producer, says: “The arts need businesses to understand the needs of the society, of the real people in the real world. Businesses need the artists to tackle the complex problems our world is currently facing. We are slowly but surely realising that we cannot carry on as we did constantly chasing up material gains at the expense of the people and the planet. With the Platform we want to start this conversation in-depth and to open up opportunities for people from different walks of life to do something about it”.

Whether you are an artist, entrepreneur or represent a creative business, you will be able to take fresh ideas and new approaches to your work, as well as a number of valuable contacts.

The Platform will take place at East Sussex College Hastings, Station Plaza campus, on Friday 20th March - 10.00–17.00.

Tickets are £35 and include lunch. There are also 25 free tickets for under 25s. Sign up here: www.eventbrite.co.uk
