The Small Venue Pitch Sessions will take place over Zoom on Wednesday September 10 and Thursday September 11 from 7 until 9pm each evening with 15 artists pitching per night.

Presenters can register to attend here (membership in the CPN is not required to attend).

All Artists who submitted to pitch have been invited to add their info to an Artists Gallery that will be hosted on the SPARC website. In previous years there have been as many as 50 artists in the Gallery; think of the Gallery as an online catalogue of artists ready for you to book for your next season!

The Community Presenters’ Network (CPN) is a collection of smaller-scale performing arts venues throughout Ontario, working in close collaboration with Ontario Presents and SPARC to bring more music, theatre, dance, comedy, and other art forms to people and places not necessarily served by larger venues.

If you have any questions about the pitches, or the CPN, please contact Eric Goudie at egoudie@centrewellington.ca.
