Media Arts and Education: Workshops Present & Past
Our Arts and Education program builds a local base for media reform, media literacy, and hands-on skills, training people to produce their own media and create their own media advocacy. We strive to create a community of artists and citizens through media arts, education and exchange.

"Youth Media Sanctuary" is a new community arts project in North Central Troy, in collaboration with the Missing Street Ministry. This summer camp and peer-training project is designed to teach multimedia skills to young people on the margins of city life and to help develop urgently needed independent local voices in our economically devastated neighborhood. "Youth Media Sanctuary" will build on the expertise and trust developed through our previous community media arts and education collaborations to create sustainable infrastructure for local youth productions in Troy.
Funded by the Rubin Community Fellows Fund and New York State Council on the Arts.
Our "Be the Media" workshop series provides local artists, producers, and citizen journalists with opportunities to acquire and improve the skills necessary for successful and powerful independent media-making. We offer an interdisciplinary approach to diverse media arts practices with new technologies, with core focus on creative practice and artistry.
