FCG Launches the Collaboratory

FCG’s Collaboratory (or Collab, for short) is an on-site resource outfitted with communal equipment and software necessary for the production, post-production, and marketing of artistic work (visual, performance, music, and sound work). FCG staff are here to support you where possible. FCG is also developing specialized Collab-related Workshops geared toward post-production and professionalization. 

We are delighted to recognize Michael Gibson Gallery as a valued Community Sponsor of this space, thanks to their donation of a new 24" iMac.

This in-process community resource currently offers the following in terms of software and equipment:

• 24" iMac with 4.5K retina display

• Adobe Cloud Suite

• Canon Rebel T5i digital SLR and 18-55mm lens

• USB adaptor

• Insignia card reader

• Tools and hardware for on-site use: hammers & nails, screwdrivers & screws, drills, pliers, wrenches, exacto knives, levels, rulers

• Tecre Button Maker Model 100

• Tabletop perfect binding machine

• Paper scoring machine

• Small wooden book press

Book your time in 1-hour slots during our open hours through our Calendly Collaboratory booking page.

The Collaboratory is free to use for FCG Members. For non-members, we suggest a donation of $5 per session (no one is turned away).
