I signed up for Stagehand and was immediately struck by their ability to easily connect the dots within Calgary’s arts and culture sector, from musician to administrator to booker to promotor to venue owner.

What I love about the Stagehand platform is that it enforces proper protocols between the artist and the buyer, which not only protects both parties, but also educates them along the way.
