Organization description:
Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC) is the largest and most advanced nonprofit media arts center in the nation. BAVC was launched in 1976 as a way to make emerging video technology accessible to independent mediamakers. Today, with that mission still at its core, BAVC has evolved into a media arts teaching hospital. We provide video editing suites and a number of media services at subsidized rates to independent projects. We train hundreds of industry professionals each year in our workshops, teach low-income youth to create media, host networking events and offer discounts to BAVC members, provide fiscal sponsorship to noncommercial video projects, preserve aging audiotape and videotape with significant cultural and artistic value, train other nonprofits how to use media arts technology for their own constituents, and give awards, residencies, and project completion grants to media artists.
