Featured Media

To give low-income artists the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art computers by creating a need-based center for digital arts

ArtCenter/South Florida will create an ADA-accessible Computer and New Media Center so that all artists have access to the digital technology now prevalent in art-making. This grant will support building, equipping and staffing the Media Center, to be located at the center’s Lincoln Road facility. Supervised “open labs” will be available for more advanced artists who wish to work independently. By providing access to software and digital tools, low-income artists and students will have a level playing field for career advancement.
