A new outlet for artists to express themselves and promote their work has arrived in the Fox Cities.
ANTIX Theatrix is an Appleton-based multimedia production company that aims to collaborate with and promote local artists. ANTIX focuses on multi-platform productions, such as theater productions, podcasts, film and experiential pieces, according to founder Alex Frantz.
“We like the theatrics model,” he said. “We focus mainly in experiences, so anything that has a live element to it, or kind of that one-of-a-kind innovative art, is really what we’re looking for.”
Interested artists can submit their projects to ANTIX and, if approved, ANTIX will produce the art, Frantz said.
