General Meetings:

Our general meeting is on the second Saturday of each month at the Greenwood Library 8016 Greenwood Ave N. Seattle, WA. We critique our most recent production & plan for our next production. Orientation is provided for both guests and new members and members are trained. We discovered that this Saturday meeting was necessary as actual productions leave little time for anything else other than the production itself. (Please contact before attending.)

Workshops:

All workshops are at the Northwest Access & Production Center, 1125 N. 98th Street (a half-block east of Aurora Avenue North) Seattle, WA 98103. There is no charge for any of the workshops. All workshops are scheduled for 7-10 PM on week nights. Saturday classes are from 9:30-12 noon.

  • Orientation Overview of Public Access services, procedures, & production facilities.
  • Technology "Must-know" video, audio and editing concepts for equipment operators.
(All members need to complete these two classes.)
  • Advanced classes on Production Proposal, Studio Lighting, Studio Directing, Studio Effects and Studio Audio.
