We invite Nova Scotian artists to take part in PITCH ROOM, where you can share your project ideas with presenters, producers, programmers, and other industry guests during the Industry Series at STAGES 2026. PITCH ROOM lets artists give a short, focused pitch about a project they want to develop, tour, present, or take to the next stage. It’s a chance to practice talking about your work, get real-time feedback, build connections, and see how presenters and producers respond
