MetroEast Art Shorts

About Me


Art Shorts is a cable television series created to connect video artists and film makers with the free air time, production and editing tools available through MetroEast Community Media.

The program is an outreach effort coordinated by the MetroEast Arts Advisory Committee - a group of local arts community members and MetroEast staff.

Art Shorts airs on cable channels in the greater Portland metro area and reaches approximately 330,000 households.

Artists who have submitted work to "Art Shorts" can be featured on this site with their own Producer Q&A, streaming video, and connections to the rest of our Friends.
