This is a huge shout
out to all who made Hilton great, say the organisers of the 2018 Hilton Arts
Festival
A festival doesn’t just happen by accident; there are many
thanks to be said, privately and on all public platforms.
To the sponsors – we cannot do it without you:
Hilton College - for being a sponsor and the gracious host
of the event. If the festival had to pay the rent for your magnificent
facilities, we would have to close our doors.
Tiso Blackstar – for being the official media sponsor
Grindrod Bank – for your generous contribution and
high-profile presence over the weekend, thereby profiling the importance of the
arts.
DWR – For providing personnel and equipment of stunning
quality; for partnering us in the Thembelihle outreach programme; and for the
partnership with BASA.
Black Coffee Design – for sound and lighting gear, staging
and crews to make it all work. And the hours and hours!
Bidvest Car Rental – for getting actors and tech teams to
and from the airport and for making our outreach programmes mobile.
Extreme Events – for rising to the challenge for the first
time and raising the bar.
To all other sponsors - BASA, the KZN Dept of Arts &
Culture, SAB, Redlands Hotel, Sappi, The Maritzburg Sun and Caxton papers, Loud
Crowd, RMB and Everard Read Gallery for your generous support of the arts.
To our partners, Assitej and the Midlands Meander – for
adding an extra dimension.
To all the hidden, but vital support groups: Publicity
Matters, Karla van Aswegen, Jonathan Burton and their PR teams; the technical
crew, headed by Michael Broderick and who all work ridiculous hours, the Box
Office and Front of House team, Broll, Spectrum and Red Alert, Guy Allen of Artisan.
To every production company, actor, director, musician,
designer and stage assistant – thank you for being at the Hilton Arts Festival.
To the devoted and tireless management team who steered the
boat – what a team! what odds! What hard work!
Here’s to 2019 – September 13 to 15!
