Digital Media at the Art Hop

LAST MONDAY [INTERACTIVE] GROUP

TO HOST DIGITAL MEDIA PANEL

For Immediate Release

September 2, 2007

Burlington, VT

On Sunday September 9^th at 1:00 p.m., Last Monday [interactive], a consortium of digital media artists and professionals, will host "Digital Tools for Artists," a panel discussion and workshop about many of the free and inexpensive digital tools that are available for artists and small business owners. Topics covered will include blogging, podcasting, video for the web, online social networks and netroots marketing. Specific software applications from Apple and Adobe may also be discussed. The panel, which will be made up of several local digital media experts, is being presented as part of the South End Art Hop and will be held at the Vermont Community Access Media studios at 208 Flynn Avenue.

Last Monday [interactive] was started in 2006 as a monthly get-together of filmmakers, animators, audio engineers, web developers and other artists and professionals who work with digital media in some way. LMi meetings are held on the last Monday of each month (hence the group's name) and are typically casual, low key events where works-in-progress are shown, and tips, tricks and techniques are shared between members.

LMi will also host "Digital Potluck," a day-long digital media conference at Champlain College on Saturday October 27.
