Digital Creator North Bay operates as a free, drop-in learning environment for youth aged 11 – 19 to acquire digital media skills. Staffed by artist mentors, the space is equipped to support interest-driven creative activities like 3D Printing, coding, graphic design, animation, videography, digital photography, podcasting and audio recording. Teens can also come in to work on homework, read, paint, draw, collage, or just hang out and play video games with friends!
What is Dgtl Creator North?
Digital Creator North is a free, low-barrier program that supports youth and emerging artists in exploring digital and media arts. Through hands-on access to creative tools and mentorship, participants can develop digital skills at their own pace, collaborate with others, and pursue their own creative interests in a casual, welcoming space.
Since 2013, the program has expanded from community-based hubs to resources that help other communities build their own youth digital arts spaces using Digital Creator North as a model.
