Victoria Forrest and her team at Apps4Arts are in residence at the Studio with their online platform for creating and publishing custom events apps for smartphones (apps4arts.com).

Aimed at multi-venue arts events, festivals, biennials and international fairs — Apps4Arts encourages a new, templated approach to custom app development. Their publishing platform allows arts professionals to create an interactive smart phone guide for festival audiences, without the expense and hassle of employing an agency. The platform has a low barrier to entry, enabling in-house staff to publish their app without the need for specialist training or excessive time commitment. All apps are published to the App Store and Google Play.

If you are interested in publishing a custom app for your festival at a significantly reduced price, please contact Victoria on info@apps4arts.com (Ref: PMStudio).
