Project Background

Circuit Network is a non-profit management organization dedicated to fostering the development of contemporary and culturally diverse artists from all diskiplines, who are creating work of high artistic caliber, deep social import and wide cultural impact. We at Circuit are excited to announce the launching of a new marketing and booking tool, the interactive CD Critical Mass: A Desktop Showcase. This dynamic approach to booking will include a culturally diverse array of artists and groups from all diskiplines. It will include all of the information contained in a conventional press kit, as well as a video and/or audio presentation for each artist.
