Collaborations
The Centre has not had an in-house exhibition space since 1992. Instead, we have initiated the creative activity of finding the “perfect” venue for each programming event. Thus we rent space or collaborate with diverse groups and organizations to use their spaces. These partnerships have increased others’ awareness of the Centre and its programs along with an expansion and cross-pollination of audiences. Recent and upcoming venues include: the Eyelevel gallery, the Khyber Arts Centre, Neptune Theatre, the Mi’kmaq Native Friendship Centre, the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University, the Dalhousie Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery and Saint Mary’s University Gallery. Introduction to Programs
The Centre stimulates the production, research and presentation of new works through three areas: annual programs, exhibitions, and production resources. There are five established Annual Programs: the Local Artist-In-Residence Program, the Visiting Artist Program, the Media Arts Scholarship Program, the New Media and Electronics Lab, and the Video to Go Program. There is an on-going commitment to exhibitions and presentations developed through our Annual Programming Grant that consists of approximately twenty presentations, exhibitions and guest curatorial projects per year; and the Centre preserves work in our archive and showcases productions through the Media Train. By focusing our energy around these eight areas of activity we support a wide range of media artists who work in different genres.
