Nonprofit media centers, government organizations, educational institutions as well as individuals or artists working with the PEG media center are eligible to apply! We look for projects that provide educational, community building and/or creative networking opportunities to people in their communities.
The ACM-NE is happy to congratulate Brookline Interactive Group who is a recipient of our Community Media Fund! BIG and the Public VR Lab, “supports community media centers, libraries, museums, youth, arts and cultural organizations, and community-engaged filmmakers to understand, create, and provide community access to emerging media equipment, training, and content in all its forms, continuing to build a field for community-based VR, AR, 360, and MR (XR).” More information about their grant-support project is below. We are happy that this small grant will help to provide more scholarships for our ACM members to participate in their upcoming workshop, “360 Filmmaking & Storytelling Training for Media Professionals.”
Details for Workshop: Join BIG at our innovative VR Lab partner organization, Westford CAT, for a day of learning how to implement Community XR at your media center at a hands-on training from 10-3pm, and/or for our free community XR users’ group discussion from 4-6pm! This workshop is scheduled to be held at WestfordCAT in Westford, MA.
From 10-3pm, BIG & the Public VR Lab’s team will offer a low-cost training custom-designed for media-makers, 360 Filmmaking & VR Storytelling Training for Media Professionals (registration below).
In the afternoon, Westford CAT & BIG will co-host a free Community XR users group where community media centers who are using 360, VR and AR (XR) will share current XR projects, challenges/successes, equipment, education programs and best practices for implementing emerging media at your community media center.
