To celebrate National Library Week (April 10 to 16), the library will feature an exhibit of photography created during Magic Box's workshops, as well as hands-on media arts workshops with MBP Teaching Artists.

On Tuesday March 1, the NYC DOE Office of Arts and Special Projects, the Mayor’s Office for Media and Entertainment, and Magic Box Productions, presented at the Paley Center for Media the first of three exciting Blueprint: Moving Image Professional Development offerings for 2016.

As part of her amazing job as a teaching artist, Liz has been working with PS 18Q, IS 237, Humanity School of Applied Communication (HSAC), Brooklyn Theater Arts High School (BTAHS), John Dewey High School, Harrison Library, International High School at LaGuardia, among others.

If you love to capture those special moments on video, you will enjoy the family workshop “Making Better Home Videos”, where you will learn the basics of video production.

Are you looking for a hands-on activity for your kids to do during the midwinter break? Magic Box Productions and Harrison Public Library offer the perfect opportunity for them to explore the world of “green screen.”
