In 2019, Austin School of Film partnered with Mappathon™ to bring the projection mapping workshop taught & created by accomplished educator and artist CHIKA to Texas for the first time ever.
We hosted 15 students from all over the USA (yes, really) ranging from professors, creatives, filmmakers, students, club owners, photographers, fashion designers and more. This was many participants first chance to take the workshop with multimedia artist Chika. On the final day of the 2-day workshop, we hosted a public showcase of their installations & talk with the artist herself. This Spring 2020, we’re doing it all over again and you’re invited!
During the holidays, community-focused nonprofits like ours reach out to supporters like you with hope you will hear us out and understand the importance of community support. Support can come in many forms: monetary, in-kind, or even volunteering your time. But what does the money, the time, and the resources you donate really do for the community? Allow us to elaborate.
