Digital Arts Programs
The Collaborative Art + Technology Situation (CATS+) is a program for artists interested in expanding their work in digital and new media. The CATS+ Residency Program is a paid opportunity that brings cohorts of artists and tech wizards together to learn and collaborate on new work. CATS+ promotes troubleshooting, curiosity, and critical thinking around emerging and ubiquitous technologies. We host artist-led workshops, gatherings, mentorships, public showcases, a media art studio, an online wiki to remove the mystery from tech by foregrounding human connection, process, and experimentation.
Digital Do-si-do is an online media exchange presented in partnership with Games Y'all, taking place seasonally in our Discord servers. It is a fun, low-stakes opportunity to make something creative, try new software or digital techniques, and meet friends. The program is currently on hiatus.
