MISSION STATEMENT
MEDIA ARTS CENTER SAN DIEGO nurtures and supports media artists working in film, video, audio, and computer-based multimedia. The organization was founded to challenge the historical exclusion of under-represented communities from the media field, and distorted images of these communities by mainstream media.
MEDIA ARTS CENTER SAN DIEGO seeks to provide a forum for and promote the diversity of interests of San Diego Border Region media artists through regular screenings, educational outreach, film distribution, film festivals, production and technical assistance, scholarships and fiscal sponsorships.
Here are two samples of what we are creating at MEDIA ARTS CENTER SAN DIEGO!

YOUTH MEDIA
TEEN PRODUCERS PROJECT is a media literacy and video production program for youth from diverse economic and cultural backgrounds living in the San Diego/ Tijuana border region, who have been historically neglected and negatively portrayed by mainstream mass media. Professional media artists engage youth, ages 9-18, in media arts and emerging technologies for self-expression, communication and social change. The empowering projects create opportunities for youth to problem solve and gain leadership skills to strengthen their communities. TEEN PRODUCERS PROJECT works with over 200 youth per year in partnership with the MAAC PROJECT, San Diego County Office of Education's Migrant Education Program, ACCESS, and San Diego Youth At Work's Yo Spot.
Currently, the Teen Producers' TU VOZ TV series airs on local and national cable channels. Likewise, the Barrio Logan: Youth Voices and Community Stories Project with the City of San Diego Central Library helps youth .. and preserve their community's stories. Professional / Staff Development: provide hands-on workshops for staff and administrators from community -based organizations with strategies for strengthening media arts experiences and linking the media arts to other community development activities. Staff workshops are often coordinated with youth workshops resulting in an energized staff and long-term benefits for youth.
