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.
