MAPS (Media Arts in Public Schools) program of Montana seeks state funding

You don’t need to be a YouTube junkie to know that in the digital world, an idea can go from local to global with the click of a mouse.

Peter Rosten, a former movie and television producer and the founder of the MAPS Media Institute http://www.mediarts.org/ , knows this.

Rosten also thinks that expansive digital marketplace can foster growth for the economy of Ravalli County.

With that in mind, he’s taking MAPS, or Media Arts in Public Schools, from two Ravalli County school districts to all seven.

He’s also seeking $200,000 from the state Legislature to help fund the expansion, which is predicated on MAPS finding new funding sources.
