1999-2000 has been a busy year. We appreciate the support of the artists and professionals at RAIN (our Internet Service Provider), Santa Barbara High School, UCSB, Santa Barbara City College, Com17 TV, Radio KSPE, and the Latin American Music Program.
In particular, we acknowledge artists Raul Audelo and Adolfo Tapia, who have grown artistically and are passing on their knowledge to new students. And students Gilberto Ortiz and Arturo Castillo, who are now tutoring peers in Santa Barbara City Colleges Digital Arts Program, as well as leading weekly Workshops for our high school students.
This is the essence of what the Arts & Technology Workshop does. We provide artists and students the opportunity to develop their skills as artists working in new media. Funding from Santa Barbara High School, the California Arts Commission, and the Arts Fund Teen Mentorship Program enabled us to continue this work in 1999-2000.
