Capture Creativity. Craft Stories. Celebrate Fresno.
Fresno Art Beat is an exciting new initiative designed to spotlight the rich and diverse arts community in Fresno. Created to foster deeper connections between local artists, art organizations, and the broader public, Fresno Art Beat offers a platform for sharing stories, showcasing artistic talent, and promoting cultural expression. Our goal is to elevate the voices of underrepresented artists and provide greater visibility to the creative work happening across our city. By doing so, we aim to strengthen the cultural fabric of Fresno and inspire greater engagement with the arts.
Interested in developing your skills in filming and video editing? We’re inviting aspiring media creators to apply! Participants will receive hands-on training, work on real projects highlighting Fresno’s arts, and earn a stipend while building their portfolio. Whether you’re new to media production or looking to refine your talents, this is a unique opportunity to gain experience while supporting local art.
Apply today and be part of this exciting project! No experience required.
This project is funded in part by the City of Fresno Measure P Expanded Access to Arts and Culture Fund administered by the Fresno Arts Council.
