Peter Rosten asks Montana legislative committee for Media Arts In Public Schools (MAPS) funding

When MAPS Media Arts Institute http://www.mediarts.org/ founder Peter Rosten stood before the Montana House Business and Labor Committee during public testimony on HB385 Wednesday, two things were clear.

First, MAPS, or Media Arts In Public Schools, is the only known model of the kind of program that would be funded under this bill, which would direct the Department of Commerce to identify accredited media arts programs that would then be eligible to receive a $200,000 grant.

Second, the members of the committee wondered if this could just be the start of a regular appearance at the legislature for Rosten.

“The question was: ‘Will you be back in another two years?’” Rosten said. “I said, ‘No, this is a self-sustaining program with a proven track record.’”
