Virtual Event Technology

Art School Live is a student and staff-led project at Manchester Metropolitan University, and we’re using a mix of hybrid and virtual event technology to make sure everyone can take part

whether you're on campus or watching from home. Our goal is to make the event accessible, engaging, and as inclusive as possible for both in-person and online audiences.

Join Via Virtual Platforms

Live Streaming

All live performances will be streamed from the venues, so remote audiences can experience the energy of the Art School Live in real time. Using a multi-camera setup, high-quality audio, and dynamic visuals, we aim to deliver a smooth, engaging stream that reflects the atmosphere of the live show.

The event will be streamed on Twitch, where viewers can interact via live chat and feel part of the event as it unfolds

How to Access the Event Online

Getting involved from home is easy:

Step One - Go to Twitch

Register online and select the virtual attendance option.

Step Two - Tune In During the Event

The stream will go live at the scheduled time—just click on the channel for the venue you want to watch and start watching the performances in real time.

Step Three - Join the Chat

If you want to comment, react, or chat with others during the stream, log in to your Twitch account

Digital Tickets & Wallet Passes (In-Person Only)

To make attending Art School Live as smooth and straight-forward as possible, we’re using digital wallet passes for all in-person attendees. Once you register, you'll receive a digital ticket by email with the option to add it to your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet

A wallet pass is a secure, scannable digital ticket stored on your smartphone. It eliminates the need to print tickets or search through emails at the door. Everything you need for entry is saved in one place, accessible with a quick tap.

How It Works

  • After registering for an in-person ticket, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to download your pass.

  • You can save this pass to your

    Apple Wallet (iOS) or Google Wallet

    (Android).

  • On the day of the event, simply open your phone, show your wallet pass at the entrance, and you'll be scanned in.

Key Benefits:

  • Quick, contactless entry – speeds up arrival and reduces queues

  • No printed ticket needed – more sustainable and convenient

  • Automatic updates – if there are any important announcements or changes, we can push notifications directly to your pass

  • Secure and personalised – each pass is unique to the ticket holder

Using wallet passes helps us streamline the check-in process and keeps things simple for everyone attending on campus.

MY STORY

We want our online audience to feel just as involved as those in the room. Here’s what we’re doing to make the virtual experience more engaging:

  • Live Q&As and interactive segments, allowing viewers to take part in the conversation.

  • Behind-the-scenes content shared throughout the day, including setup clips and artist interviews.

  • Social media integration, with updates, highlights, and audience contributions featured on platforms like Instagram, and X (formely Twitter).
