Statement of Purpose

Ed Video Media Arts Centre is a non-profit, artist-run centre providing video production facilities, media arts training, and a public exhibition program. The centre supports the creation, exhibition, and appreciation of contemporary video and media arts. Ed Video's primary objective as a media arts access centre is to support artistic objectives in media arts. The centre also facilitates critical discourse on media arts in the local and regional community, and provides opportunities to bring that discourse to a wider audience.

Our vision as an access centre includes specific measures that address barriers to media artists from communities under-represented in both mainstream media and independent video production. These measures encompass both production and exhibition at the centre to address existing structures of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, and elitism within the organization and the larger society.
