FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edina Art Center Offers Free Media Workshops
Edina, Minn., Jan 12, 2012 – This winter, as part of an ongoing effort to foster the preservation of
family memories, the Edina Art Center is pleased to offer free media workshops to the public. The one-
hour sessions will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 28; 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31; and 10 a.m. Saturday,
Feb. 4.
“We know that families have all kinds of media – movies, photos, slides, videotapes, audio tapes – just
sitting in drawers and closets waiting to be recorded to digital form,” said Phil Johnson, Manager of the
Peggy Kelly Media Arts Studios. “Getting started can seem overwhelming unless you have a plan in place
and resources to help.”
Each workshop will cover the identification of older media, methods for prioritizing and sorting,
resources for digital preservation, and step-by-step planning. Art Center staff will demonstrate several
typical transfer processes available to the public at the Media Studios.
No registration is necessary. The Edina Art Center is located at 4701 W. 64th St. in Edina. For more
information or directions to the Art Center, call the Media Studios at 952-903-5782 or visit
