Dear Friends,

What a year it has been. Filled with loss and many challenges, but SO many successes & new beginnings as well. MEDIA ARTS has been honored to touch the lives of so many 1000s of people this year via our film screenings, education programs, and production services.

We could have not done it without all of you in the community. MIL GRACIAS to all those of you who supported our programming in 2012!

On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, and everyone at MEDIA ARTS CENTER SAN DIEGO, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you all in 2013.

Our 20th Anniversary year is going to be big & full of surprises!

Sincerely,

“happy new year!”

MEDIA ARTS is proud to announce the unveiling of its’ new branding for the new DIGITAL GYM community technology space in North Park.

Over the past year, amazing changes have taken place at the new space. Here’s a short photo slideshow showing how far we’ve come over the past year. http://www.mediaartscenter.org/site/c.dfLIJPOvHoE/b.7892265/k.C0E6/Photos.htm

In 2013, you’ll be able to watch amazing foreign and independent movies in our new cinema, grab some snacks in our lounge, take fun workshops to gain new skills, and buy some cool gifts in the new Digital Gym store.

The DIGITAL GYM logo and branding materials were designed by local Tijuana/San Diego graphic designer, Franko Rosas. To see more of Franko’s work, visit:
