The Pitch
Present your ART + SCIENCE project during ‘the knowledge
festival’ at Oxford House 2014 and participate in
Fan Palaces
Application form
The knowledge is the Oxford Houses annual art festival, running this year from 18th to 20th of
September. This year we are also celebrating the Oh! 130th anniversary and our continuous work in
the community and arts since 1884. During the Festival, Oh! Pocket Park will be launched with a
variety of events and street food.
The Pitch, very succesful last year, is an excellent opportunity for individuals and organisations who
have a project or idea that involves arts and science with the community. Within the annual
knowledge festival, on Friday the 19th of September, the selected entries will present their work at
Oh!
