MAPS Media Institute shifts into high gear in Montana

After a year’s hiatus, the
MAPS Media Institute (MMI) http://www.mediarts.org
seems to be in fast-forward mode.

The nonprofit organization,
headed by former Hollywood
producer Peter Rosten, has
been awarded a five-year 21st
Century Community Learning
Center grant ($115,000 per year,
$575,000 total), administered by
Montana’s Office of Public Instruction.
The funding helps MMI
provide after-school instruction
in a wide range of media arts to
high-school students in the Bitterroot
Valley.

“This is giant for us,” says
Rosten. “We’re blessed to have
gotten their support.”
