FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Art Center offers free home media workshops
Edina, Minn., Nov. 1, 2011 – The Edina Art Center is offering free media workshops to the public as
part of an effort to encourage preservation of memories important to families.
“We know that families have all kinds of media – movies, photos, slides, videotapes, audio tapes – 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 and have
located resources for help. The holidays are approaching, so this is the ideal time to learn more.”
Workshops will take place from 7-8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16 and 10-11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 19
Each workshop will cover 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 www.EdinaArtCenter.com.
