The Media Center already appears to be well on its way in grooming the next E-generation. An upcoming project known as Reel Grrls Video , created in partnership with the YMCA and KCTS, Seattle's Public TV Network, will challenge 20 teenage girls to examine their consumption of mass media and how it shapes their identities as young women today. 911 was named the recipient of a prestigious grant from The National Endowment for the Arts. Core workshops in all levels of video and film camera, lighting, and editing are offered every two months. All workshops are taught by local, national, and international media artists and educators, and are geared for all ages and levels of experience.
Financial aid is also available.
911 is located at the foot of Seattle's Capitol Hill near the intersection of Denny and Stewart. Larry Sivitz is managing editor of Seattle24x7 .
