Ed Video Media Arts Centre facts for kids
Ed Video Media Arts Centre, often called just Ed Video, is a unique place for artists who create using video, film, and other digital tools. It's known as an "artist-run centre," which means it's managed by artists themselves to help other artists.
The organization officially started in 1976 in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Since then, it has become a non-profit group, meaning it uses its money to support its goals rather than making a profit. It also has charitable status, which allows it to receive donations to help its work.
Ed Video is a central spot for video, film, and media artists, whether they are just starting out or have lots of experience. It helps artists by offering affordable access to equipment they need to make their art, like cameras and editing tools. They also provide training workshops, host fun social events, and have a gallery where artists can show their work all year long. Ed Video is the only artist-run centre in Guelph and is one of the oldest organizations of its kind in Canada.
