The Arts North Digital Studio offers knowledge about podcasting, graphic design, product photography, social media usage and e-commerce to help artists, cultural groups and non-profits make the transition to a more prominent online presence. Arts North Media will help with digital media content development, syndication and distribution and will be delivered via podcasting, television, and a wide range of social media platforms. “What started as a small vehicle to promote local creatives has become something bigger than myself,” Kast, Arts North Media founder, said. “I am excited to be part of a program that will provide skills in podcasting, live streaming, photo and video production and editing, graphic design, social media marketing and much more. Looking ahead, I know this space will be a hub for some of the most innovative and experimental collaborations in the north. The renaissance took place during a time of chaos and plague. We are in the middle of a digital renaissance.”
