Waterloo Region and Wellington County Media Arts Roundtable

Pre­sented by MANO/RAMO in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Com­mons Stu­dio and the Ontario Arts Council

Tues­day, May 30, 2017
7 PM
Com­mons Stu­dio, 256 King Street

The Media Arts Net­work of Ontario/Réseau des arts médi­a­tiques de l’Ontario is call­ing on all cul­tural work­ers and artists engaged with media arts (film/video/new media/games/sound/etc.) in Water­loo Region, Welling­ton Coun­ty and sur­round­ing areas  to gath­er for an infor­mal dis­cus­sion at the new Com­mons Stu­dio facil­ity on Tues­day May 30^th. This round-table fol­lows on a series of meet­ings held across Ontario by MANO on a rotat­ing basis. We would like to meet and dis­cuss the region’s chal­lenges, the cur­rent oppor­tu­ni­ties avail­able and the pos­si­bil­i­ties for future oppor­tu­ni­ties and collaborations.

Spe­cial guest Mark Haslam, Media Arts Offi­cer at the Ontario Arts Coun­cil, will be in attendance.

Some of the sub­jects we will explore are: Are our local grant­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties con­ducive for indi­vid­ual artists or do they favour organizations/centres/collectives? How to bridge col­lab­o­ra­tions between the universities/institutions and the greater com­mu­nity? How can we bring 
more equi­ty and inclu­sive­ness to our region’s activities?

Let’s con­nect, dis­cuss and start the change. Every­one is wel­come, so please help us spread the word through your networks.

Refresh­ments will be provided.
