Centre For Art Tapes

The Centre for Art Tapes (CFAT) is a non-profit, artist-run media arts production space in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Founded in 1979, the charitable organisation facilitates and supports artists at all levels working with electronic media including video, audio and new media, offering specialized suites and industry-standard equipment at the lowest possible rates. CFAT runs the Media Art Scholarship - a rigorous six-month education and mentorship program for emerging artists - alongside thematic residencies (curator in residence, e-lab artist in residence) and a year-round program of exhibitions, talks and screenings. Staff bring expertise across analog film, electronic building, tape transfer, media art installation, sound art and VR.
