In Progress has been promoting the voices of young and newly developing media artists since its inception in 1996. Our mission is to diversify cultural dialogue and pave the way for new voices in the field of digital arts. In Progress recognizes new and emerging artists from underserved communities, so they may demonstrate leadership at home while extending their voices to national audiences.

Those of us that work for In Progress are committed to breaking down barriers of geography, class, education, and culture in the area of media arts. In doing so, we continue to seek partnerships with communities that are urban, rural, and tribal; that are culturally diverse; economically depressed; and lacking in existing opportunities in media production. With this at the core of our efforts, we offer workshops, exhibits, mentorships, and critical dialogues.

At In Progress we tell stories through three forms of digital media - video, photography and music. We recognize that each of these forms have long been used to carry meaningful stories, histories, and values. We also see digital media as an accessible tool that has a far reach across the globe. Our goal is to teach artists from a very early age to develop content, technique, purpose and passion for their own stories and to share them with others.
