Mission Statement

POWRPLNT is a space where the digital arts community engages the next generation of creators. It functions as gallery space, internet lounge and an environment where people from all backgrounds may learn the skills necessary to express themselves creatively in today’s networks. We aim to make the digital world accessible, personal and more human. POWRPLNT empowers individuals to bridge the digital divide, by organizing community interactions that elevate digital literacy and encourage expression via technology. Technology is a right, not a privilege.

Description

POWRPLNT organizes digital art educational workshops and activations to engage youth and artists in interest driven learning focused on democratizing and supporting diverse leaders within arts and technology.

We create the space to learn new digital languages for creative expression.

Our first brick and mortar space Bushwick in Brooklyn, NY is an open-to-all computer workspace and venue for classes, art shows and performances. The courses, often led by local artists, focus on tools and techniques of digital art production. Youth participants attend classes for free, while adults are encouraged to support with donations.
