<p><br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Centre for Art Tapes</span> is a not for profit artist-run, charitable, organization that facilitates and supports artists at all levels working with electronic media including video, audio, and new media. We provide <span style="font-weight: bold;">services</span> to a diverse membership, and the general public, that include film production facilities, film equipment rentals, public workshops, ongoing exhibitions and screenings. As well we provide <span style="font-weight: bold;">programs</span> that offer, through training and in-house residencies, opportunities for individuals to critically engage with cultural and social issues. The Centre is designed to <span style="font-weight: bold;">provide</span> artists with access to a broad range of production facilities and foster training and mentoring programs for members of the community.<br /><br />The Centre continues to be a flexible organization that shifts its services in accordance with cultural and economic pressures while maintaining its core identity as a service-based facility for the support of media arts. We are acutely aware of the importance of including new and burgeoning experimental processes within the media arts to allow these practices to be crystallized within the mainstream.<br /><br /><br /></p>
