What is the Media Arts Lab?
This brand-new, state-of-the-art facility—a “green” building—is equipped with 16 editing suites, a recording studio, a soundstage, a 60-seat screening room, an animation studio, a large Center Studio, and 4 small studios.
All courses at the Lab use 21st-century media to foster intellectual curiosity and creative exploration, encouraging students of all ages to tell stories and become effective and inspired communicators.
Some of the many offerings include hands-on workshops, master classes with working filmmakers, cinema studies classes, fellowships for emerging and international filmmakers, and professional development for educators. It offers classes for beginning and advanced students during the day, after school, in the evenings, and on weekends.
