Save the date! The 14th annual Media Arts Festival starts at 12pm on May 19th at the Pharaohplex in Hamilton, MT. Come see student work from Film, Technology, Design, and Music classes showcased on the big screen!
Five student scholarships will be awarded at the conclusion of the event. The Festival is free and open to the public. A Pie Potluck will follow at MAPS. We hope to see all MAPSTERS, families, friends and supporters there!
MAPS Lake County
Last year, MAPS hosted an 8 week long film class in partnership with Salish Kootenai College for Lake County students. This year, MAPS returns with a 10 week long class! Students will learn how to develop a story and write a script, record camera and sound, act, and edit to create a short film that will be screened to the community.
Even though class began on March 28th, it is not too late to sign up! Enrollment is open and ongoing, and like all good things, completely free-of-charge!
