With a new cohort of Artist Access participants starting this week, we’re reflecting on what artists have been building inside the program. Artist Access is about more than space. It’s studio access, equipment, classes through Austin School of Film, and hands-on experience supporting real productions and creative operations. Over six months, local artists develop new work, build on their artist portfolios, and tap into a working creative community. Short films, photo series, installations, music videos, this work spans. 🎬 New video series highlighting all this and more coming soon.⭐️ by @cinemakerstudios
