The Aboriginal Media Art Initiative is an immersive program designed by Video Pool to assist aboriginal artists, either emerging or already practicing in any discipline, with the creation of a short video or a media art piece. This is a two-level program* catered to Manitoba residents:

LEVEL ONE: Remote community residents, who will learn to make their first video.

LEVEL TWO: Winnipeg residents, who will create a media art piece.

* Each individual will only be participating at one level during the residency. Apply accordingly.We recommend participants/applicants be between the ages 18-30.The program includes a one-month residency in Winnipeg, sponsored entirely by Video Pool Media Art Centre, covering travel and accommodations, as well as providing a per diem and honorarium.

It is expected that recipients can work independently, as well as in a one on one mentor setting towards the creation of a personal project.
