Based in Seattle\, Washington\, Kole Galbraith has been active in the  underground experimental music community for  the past decade performing throughout the United States and Europe. Sonically the studio compositions are informed by  early 20th century French musique-concrète\,  metal\, jazz and contemporary composition.  Thematically\, the compositions are influenced by  interior Salish folklore\, and contemporary  indigenous experience. Galbraith mixes using  materials found in nature with electronic  techniques to uncover both hidden sonic  capabilities and subsequent latent histories.  Galbraith has released albums on his own label\,  Obscure & Terrible\, and other labels such as SIGE\, Titania Tapes and Krim Kram. Galbraith has worked with  musicians and artists including Lori Goldston\, Greg Kelley\,  Jessika Kenney\, Steve Moore\, Warren Realrider (Pawnee/Crow)\, Nathan Young (Delaware)\, Al-Yené Vinokurova (Sakha)\, Chloe Alexandra  Thompson (Cree)\, Catherine Guesde\, Zach Rowden\, Casey Adams\, Al Jones\, Patrick Wurzwallner\, Maja Osojnik\,  morher\, Sean Waple\, Jason Lazer\, and Noel Kennon.  Kole Galbraith is a descendant of the Sinixt band of Indians and enrolled member of the  Peoria Tribe of Oklahoma. \n  \nWarren Realrider is a Pawnee & Crow multidisciplinary artist presently based in Tulsa\, Oklahoma. Realrider is a recipient of the Tulsa Artist Fellowship for 2024-2026 and is an upcoming Summer 2026 Sound Art + Experimental Music Artist-In-Residence at the Bemis Center in Omaha\, Nebraska. While studying painting at the University of Oklahoma Warren began an exploration of sound\, materials\, and site as elements of his art practice. Warren created the Tick-Suck noise performance project in 2016 as sound became a central element of his practice. He has since presented his solo works and performance collaborations in varied locations\, from Seattle\, Washington to South Windham\, Vermont and beyond. His works such as Four Kitapâtu and Unassigned Data work within the unclaimed spaces between contemporary North American plains existence\, Pawnee universe engagement\, and untethered sound cycles to create pointed\, sonic structures of human/item/location interface. \n\nSaturday July 18\n\n7:00 PM: Short Film Program #2\nat Journey’s End Refugee Services (Suite 530) \nJoin us for a selection of films by Cousin artists including: Sky Hopinka\, Alexandra Lazarowich\, New Red Order\, Adam Piron\, Blackhorse Lowe\, Tiare Ribeaux\, Fox Maxy\, and Rhayne Vermette.\nPost-screening conversation with the artists to follow.\nRuntime: 80 mins \n  \n9:00 PM: K-∪ruyuki ∪-Khronicles: A confuse triptych\nat Squeaky Wheel (Suite 310)\n(projectors performance by Esteban Prudencio)\nSpeculative memoir on the chiriguano people\, their filtration\, wars\, and disappearing/ence. A World that Keeps Ending\, and A World that Goes On. \nEsteban Prudencio (b. 1992\, Tarija\, Bolivia) is an audiovisual artist\, curator\, and informal researcher based between Bolivia and Cuba. Addressing the current condition of the Global South—marked by the ever-present colonial project and the eradication of both landscape and oral traditions—his practice seeks to generate an influx of counter-hegemonic images capable of opening cracks in the political\, ecological\, and affective imagination. \n  \nSunday July 19\n\n\n7:00 PM: Tiguex \nat Journey’s End Refugee Services (Suite 530) \n\nDirected by Pulitzer Prize-winning\, Albuquerque-based composer Raven Chacon\, Tiguex is the filming of Chacon’s large-scale musical composition consisting of twenty overlapping movements performed over the span of a day.

SUMMARY:Paint-On-Glass Animation
DESCRIPTION:Paint on Glass Animation\nJuly 28-August 6 (2 weeks)\nTuesdays & Thursdays\n6:00-8:00pm\nSliding scale fee: $50-$200\, including materials \nOpen to all levels\, ages 16+ \nClass limited to 8 participants. \n \nJoin us to learn the beautiful and mediative process of paint-on-glass animation. We’ll use a range of brushes and non-traditional tools to move wet acrylic paint on a backlit glass surface. Using cameras and ipads\, we’ll photograph each new mark and assemble the frames into an animation sequence. The resulting animation reflects the detail of each brush stroke or texture. \nThe first two classes will focus on techniques\, including how to animate over a video. The second two classes will have room to explore a personal project. All tools\, materials\, and software are provided for use during class. You’ll leave with a shopping list for setting up an affordable animation station at home with your camera or mobile device. \nThis class is perfect for painters interested in animation\, animators interested in painting\, traditional artists looking to dip a toe into the digital world\, digital artists eager to touch physical materials\, and anyone looking to slow down through a process with truly infinite possibilities. The resulting animation can be hyper detailed or loose and experimental\, it’s up to you. Come move some paint around! \n  \nInstructor: Kolya Kishinsky \nKolya Kishinsky is a Providence\, RI based animator and current part time faculty at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. He grew up in the Bay Area\, where in the foggy hills one’s hand disappears if it’s too far from the body. As in the fog\, his work focuses on searching\, autonomy and creating personal identity. He works in both stop motion and 2D animated mediums as well as holding a printmaking and illustration practice focused on telling surreal yet personal stories. We’ve been truly fortunate to have Kolya join us in Buffalo to share his skills with our youth programs for the last two summers\, and we’re thrilled to finally offer this workshop for adults. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Chris Marker's The Case of the Grinning Cat\, with short films by Serge Avedikian and Wiame Haddad
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 5\, 2026\, 7 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nIn-person at Squeaky Wheel and online\nSqueaky Wheel presents a screening of Chris Marker’s iconic film\, Chat Perchés (The Case of the Grinning Cat)\, preceded by Serge Avedikian’s haunting short animated film\, Chienne D’histoire (Howling Island) and Wiame Haddad’s subtle and urgent film Sang Titre. The films think through past and current history with and through animals\, and depictions thereof: Avedikian’s Barking Island tells the story of the 1910 dog exile and massacre in Ottoman Istanbul\, where thousands of dogs were rounded up and sent to a nearby Island to die\, with clear resonances between the event and the Armenian Genocide. Meanwhile in The Case of the Grinning Cat\, Chris Marker reflects on French and international politics\, art and culture at the start of the new millennium through the sudden appearance of alluring portraits of grinning yellow cats through Paris. \nThe screening is presented as part of our exhibition\, With us at the center of our world: Animals\, domestications\, dreams. The exhibition presents the work of nine artists thinking through and on non-human animals. The artists – working in animation\, essay films\, speculative narratives\, installation work\, among other forms – address topics of domestication\, colonialism\, extinction\, and conservation\, and the toll humans extract from our co-inhabitants on earth. The exhibition features work by Amy Ching-Yan Lam\, Annika Eriksson\, Cameron A. Granger\, Christina Corfield\, Deniz Tortum & Sister Sylvester\, G. Anthony Svatek\, Miranda Javid\, and Noor Abuarafeh. \nFor in-person attendees: The event will take place at Squeaky Wheel. Please note that you cannot enter Tri-Main Center after 7:30 pm. Samosas from Ali Baba Kebab will be provided. \nFor online attendees: A private link will be sent to you; the event will be available at the link at the start date and time. You will have access to the event for 24 hours; Squeaky Wheel members receive 72 hour access. Not a member yet? Sign up here. \nThis event is supported by Teiger Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Special thank you to Bob Hunter at Icarus Films\, Luigi Loy at Sacrebleu Productions\, and Salome Kokoladze and Aurora Picture Show. \nProgram\nTotal program duration is ~76 minutes \n\nLeft to right: Wiame Haddad\, Sang Titre (2024); the poster of Serge Avédikian\, Chienne D’histoire (Howling Island) (2010); Chris Marker\, The Case of the Grinning Cat (2004).\nSerge Avédikian\, Chienne D’histoire (Howling Island)\n15 minutes\, 2010 \nConstantinople 1910. Too many stray dogs in the streets of the city. The new government\, influenced by a Western model of society\, looks to European experts for ways to get rid of them before deciding\, alone\, to finally deport 30\,000 dogs to a deserted island off the coast of the city. Through the dual eyes of a dog who has just given birth and the policeman who cages her\, we follow the forced exile of these dogs\, most of whom will die of hunger and thirst\, to the great satisfaction of the authorities. Years later\, in an alley of the city\, our rescued dog will find her gendarme\, who has become blind…. Description and film courtesy of Sacrebleu Productions. Written by Serge Avédikian & Karine Mazloumian. Composer  Michel Karsky. \nWiame Haddad\, Sang Titre\n2:55 minutes\, 16 mm on digital video\, 2024 \nSang Titre is an evocation of a post-twilight\, where the echo of an absolute\, indomitable\, and profound resilience resonates. Borrowing its title from Godard and Miéville\, this film emerges from a surge of anger and despair in\nthe face of the ongoing violence endured by Palestinians. Rooted in both urgency and mourning\, it echoes a long history of oppression while seeking a visual language to confront it. At its core lies a nocturnal encounter with a donkey\, suddenly appearing in the darkness—resilient\, bound\, and silently accusatory. Its piercing gaze\, both gentle and unyielding\, becomes a powerful allegory of dignity\, resistance\, and the enduring condition of oppressed peoples. \nThe film was created following an invitation from Narimane Mari as part of the project Some Strings\, which brings together filmmakers to engage with Palestine. The project has been presented in numerous institutions and festivals around the world\, and continues to evolve. \nChris Marker\, The Case of the Grinning Cat\n58 minutes\, 2004 \nFrench documentarian and cinema-essayist Chris Marker reflects on French and international politics\, art and culture at the start of the new millennium. In November 2001\, the filmmaker became intrigued\, as did many other Parisians\, by the sudden appearance of alluring portraits of grinning yellow cats on buildings\, Metro walls and other public surfaces. Marker’s cinematic efforts to document the mysterious materializations of this charming feline throughout Paris are a recurring theme of The Case of the Grinning Cat. \nThis engaging record of Marker’s cinematic peregrinations throughout the city\, visually energized by his free-association montage style\, chronicles strikes\, demonstrations\, memorials\, election campaigns\, celebrity scandals\, international political incidents\, and a seemingly endless variety of political protests (against the Iraq War\, against China’s occupation of Tibet\, against the government’s ban on the wearing of Muslim headscarves). The personalized commentary running throughout The Case of the Grinning Cat offers the simultaneously learned and witty reflections of the filmmaker\, now in his early eighties\, on both the contemporary and historical implications of these varied events and personalities. \nThe mysterious grinning yellow cats soon begin to appear amidst the banners and signs in some of the political demonstrations. Eventually\, the creator of the grinning cats is revealed to be an art collective known as Mr. Cat\, whose members are shown painting a massive representation of their mascot on the plaza before the Pompidou Center. The filmmaker’s own famous cat caricature soon allies with Mr. Cat\, as Marker speculates on the political possibilities of such a feline association. \nChris Marker concludes The Case of the Grinning Cat with thoughts on the vital importance of such expressions of imagination in our public lives\, echoing the May ’68 slogan that “”La poésie est dans la rue”” (“”Poetry is in the street””). Description and film courtesy of Icarus Films. \nBiographies of the artists\nSerge Avédikian was a student at the Conservatory of Dramatic Art of Meudon\, then worked with the students of the Paris Conservatoire and acted in numerous plays from the classical and modern repertoire. In 1976\, he created a theater company and directed several plays. In 1982\, he began directing documentary films\, while continuing his work as an actor in cinema and theater. In 1988\, he founded his own production company and directed personal films. At the same time\, he continued his career as an actor in theater\, film and television. Since 2000\, he has devoted more time to acting in theater and film and continues to direct films with other producers. \nBorn Christian François Bouche-Villeneuve on July 29\, 1921 in Neuilly-sur-Seine\, France\, Chris Marker was a cinematic essayist and audio-visual poet. After the Second World War\, Marker began as a writer\, publishing his first book in 1949. In the 1950s he turned to documentary filmmaking. Among his classic works from this period are Letter from Siberia\, Cuba Si!\, Le Joli Mai\, and La Jetée. In the ’60s and ’70s he was actively involved with SLON\, a filmmaking collective dedicated to activist production. Marker reemerged to make films under his own name again in 1977 with Le Fond de l’air est rouge (English title: A Grin Without A Cat). Creatively reworking his life as if editing one of his own films\, Marker made films on other filmmakers during the ’80s and ’90s\, including the renowned One Day in the Life of Andrei Arsenevich. He also explored video and computer-generated imagery with a continued emphasis on the intersection between personal and political themes in films such as The Case of the Grinning Cat\, which was released in English in 2006. A pioneer auteur filmmaker and an original voice in world cinema for over 50 years\, Marker passed away on his birthday\, July 29\, 2012. He is widely accepted to be one of the most innovative and influential filmmakers in modern cinema history. (Biography via Icarus Films) \nWiame Haddad works within an extended temporal framework. She develops her practice through series\, each emerging from deeply researched investigations\, both theoretical and formal. The images she produces are rare and deliberately sparse — a remarkable approach within contemporary photographic and cinematic practices often driven by constant flux and overproduction. Born in 1987 in Lille\, Wiame Haddad graduated from the ESAD of Valenciennes and from La Cambre National School of Visual Arts in Brussels. She develops visual projects that engage with the tensions of the body as a political signifier. This research is coupled with an attraction toward what remains unseen. The artist focuses on bodies and events forgotten by History\, particularly on the representation of collective memory and its omissions. Her work is also rooted in an anti-colonial approach\, questioning and deconstructing representations inherited from imperial history. Through the invention of forms\, the recreation of images\, and the construction of new visual archives\, she seeks to sketch out alternative narratives capable of displacing and rewriting dominant versions of colonial history. She lives and works in Paris. Her work has been presented in numerous exhibitions\, notably at the Les Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles\, the CRAC Occitanie\, Villa Empain – Fondation Boghossian\, and the MACAAL\, among others. She has also participated in various film festivals including Cinéma du Réel — where she received a Special Jury Mention — Toronto International Film Festival\, Open City Documentary Festival\, and Tout Court – Nuove Voci della Cineteca di Bologna. \nFeatured image: Still from Chris Marker\, The Case of the Grinning Cat (2004)

SUMMARY:Meet the Residents: Liat Berdugo & Senem Pirler
DESCRIPTION:In-person at Squeaky Wheel and online\nFree or suggested donation; get tickets below\nSqueaky Wheel is pleased to present this hybrid artist talk with our Summer 2026 Workspace Residents! Liat Berdugo and Senem Pirler will be presenting on their previous and current projects\, along with a Q&A with the residents moderated by Kalmia Strong. \nLiat Berdugo will expand her work Tsipori over Safuriyya with the creation of a speculative anti-archive using over 50\,000 images from the Jewish National Fund’s archive to explore the relationships between state power\, archives\, and the right to representation. Working in Squeaky’s digital lab\, Berdugo will construct speculative images: machine-hallucinated pasts that Palestine might have had\, and futures it might yet hold. The project draws from a critical AI lineage\, where AI is used not for efficiency or productivity\, but as a tool of political and artistic resistance. \nSenem Pirler will create a site-specific audiovisual performance at Silo City’s Marine A\, titled Withholding. The performance positions inflatable sonic sculptures in the Silo\, utilizing the structure’s concrete visual and acoustic elements\, along with live modular synthesis and visuals that draw from histories of labor and extraction. This multi-sensory structure asks audiences to experience the silo not as a ruin but as an entity with ongoing memory and political charge\, interrogating the architecture of capitalism through the bodies it has used and abandoned. This work continues Pirler’s explorations into how haptically engaged sonic sculptures can turn abstract concepts into embodied experiences. \n  \nFor in-person attendees: The event will take place at Squeaky Wheel. Please note that you cannot enter Tri-Main Center after 7:30 pm. Catering from Ali Baba Kebab\, with vegetarian options\, will be provided. \nFor online attendees: A private link will be sent to you; the event will be available at the link at the start date and time. You will have access to the event for 24 hours; Squeaky Wheel members receive 1 week of access. Not a member yet? Sign up here. \nAccessibility: If you’d like to request ASL interpretation for either in-person or the online viewing\, please contact kalmia@squeaky.org by August 3. You can view additional information on Squeaky Wheel’s accessibility information here. \nFunding for this session of Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency is provided by the Teiger Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Special thank you to the panelists of this session of the residency\, Ibrahim Kane\, Carra Stratton\, and Kathryn Ramey. Learn more about the program here. \nBiographies of the artists\n  \n \nLiat Berdugo is an American-Israeli media artist and writer whose work investigates embodiment\, labor\, ecology and militarization in relation to capitalism\, technological utopianism\, and the Middle East. Lately\, her work has focused on image archives and the violent greenwashing of settler-colonialism in Israel/Palestine. Her work has been shown at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco)\, MoMA PS1 (New York)\, and Transmediale (Berlin)\, among others\, and her writing appears in Rhizome\, Temporary Art Review\, Real Life\, Places\, and The Institute for Network Cultures\, and various academic and open access presses. Along with Emily Martinez\, she is one half of the art collective\, Anxious to Make\, and is the co-founder of the Living Room Light Exchange\, a monthly new media art series in the San Francisco Bay Area. Berdugo received an MFA from RISD and a BA from Brown University\, and is an associate professor of Art + Architecture at the University of San Francisco. \n \nSenem Pirler (she/her) is a sound and intermedia artist\, sonic improviser\, and educator. Her interdisciplinary practice spans installation\, performance\, audiovisual essay\, and spatial electroacoustic composition\, rooted in Deep Listening\, feminist methodologies\, and improvisation as a research method—making knowledge by engaging and listening with the material\, simultaneously a witness and a participant. Born in Turkey\, she earned her M.M. in Music Technology from NYU Steinhardt and her Ph.D. in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She has performed at EMPAC\, Roulette\, Carnegie Hall\, the LA Philharmonic\, Akademie der Künste\, Southbank Center\, Mabou Mines\, Elastic Arts\, MIT Museum\, and others. Her work has been supported by LMCC\, Harvestworks\, PACT Zollverein\, Signal Culture\, and EMS Stockholm. Pirler was awarded an NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in the Music/Sound category in 2022\, and the Malcolm Morse Award\, honoring the work of Pauline Oliveros and Deep Listening\, in 2018. Dr. Pirler joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in 2024 as an Assistant Professor of Composition.

SUMMARY:Web Scraping as Critical and Artistic Intervention with Liat Berdugo
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 29\, 1-3pm\nFree or $10 suggested donation; open to ages 16+.\nLimited seats available; register below.\nHow might artists critically intervene on the web by “scraping”\, or automating the downloading of text\, images\, and other data\, from the web? The goal of the workshop is to introduce both the concept and practice of web scraping to participants\, and get them thinking about its artistic possibilities as a critical practice. \nParticipants will learn what web scraping is\, how it is used by tech corporations all around us\, and the critical and artistic possibilities of scraping the web\, themselves. Then\, using Craigslist Buffalo as an example web source\, participants will learn the basics of how websites are structured in HTML\, and how to scrape web content using the Python programming language and the library “Beautiful Soup” (which has special functions to automate web scraping). \n  \nAttendees: Though there is no technical knowledge set that is required\, participants must be comfortable working on a computer (they should know how to open applications\, and find files using Finder). Participants who already know basic HTML & CSS (the languages websites are written in) will have an easier time\, but this workshop will be accessible to those who don’t. \nFunding for this session of Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency is provided by the Teiger Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Special thank you to the panelists of this session of the residency: Ibrahim Kane\, Carra Stratton\, and Kathryn Ramey. Learn more about the program here. \nBiography of the artist\nLiat Berdugo is an American-Israeli media artist and writer whose work investigates embodiment\, labor\, ecology and militarization in relation to capitalism\, technological utopianism\, and the Middle East. Lately\, her work has focused on image archives and the violent greenwashing of settler-colonialism in Israel/Palestine. Her work has been shown at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco)\, MoMA PS1 (New York)\, and Transmediale (Berlin)\, among others\, and her writing appears in Rhizome\, Temporary Art Review\, Real Life\, Places\, and The Institute for Network Cultures\, and various academic and open access presses.

SUMMARY:Withholding | Senem Pirler at Silo City
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 4\, 7 pm\n@ Silo City (85 Silo City Row\, Buffalo\, NY 14203)\nFree or suggested donation; register below\nJoin us at Silo City for a site-specific audiovisual performance at Silo City’s Marine A\, titled Withholding. The performance positions inflatable sonic sculptures in the Silo\, utilizing the structure’s concrete visual and acoustic elements\, along with live modular synthesis and visuals that draw from histories of labor and extraction. This multi-sensory structure asks audiences to experience the silo not as a ruin but as an entity with ongoing memory and political charge\, interrogating the architecture of capitalism through the bodies it has used and abandoned. This work continues Pirler’s explorations into how haptically engaged sonic sculptures can turn abstract concepts into embodied experiences. \nThe event will take place at Silo City. This event marks the final event with our summer residents. Special thank you to Sara Heidinger and our partners at Silo City\, and to Teiger Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for supporting our Workspace Residency program. \nAbout the artist and our partner\nSenem Pirler (she/her) is a sound and intermedia artist\, sonic improviser\, and educator. Her interdisciplinary practice spans installation\, performance\, audiovisual essay\, and spatial electroacoustic composition\, rooted in Deep Listening\, feminist methodologies\, and improvisation as a research method—making knowledge by engaging and listening with the material\, simultaneously a witness and a participant. Born in Turkey\, she earned her M.M. in Music Technology from NYU Steinhardt and her Ph.D. in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She has performed at EMPAC\, Roulette\, Carnegie Hall\, the LA Philharmonic\, Akademie der Künste\, Southbank Center\, Mabou Mines\, Elastic Arts\, MIT Museum\, and others. Her work has been supported by LMCC\, Harvestworks\, PACT Zollverein\, Signal Culture\, and EMS Stockholm. Pirler was awarded an NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in the Music/Sound category in 2022\, and the Malcolm Morse Award\, honoring the work of Pauline Oliveros and Deep Listening\, in 2018. Dr. Pirler joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in 2024 as an Assistant Professor of Composition. \n \nSilo City is a unique post-industrial landscape comprised of the world’s largest collection of historical grain elevators. We create and host happenings on site through our 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization that operates under the legal name Friends of Silo City. Click here to learn more. \nBanner image

SUMMARY:Digital Art and Technology Access
DESCRIPTION:DATA is a media arts and technology program designed for neurodivergent individuals ages 13-19. A series of year-round workshops builds creative and social skills. Students learn a range of media-based practices like illustration\, animation\, and game design to support individual and collaborative projects. We value long term relationships with students\, families\, and teachers.\nIn DATA we provide a minimum 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio\, noise-canceling headphones\, snacks\, and a separate sensory-friendly space outside the classroom for breaks. Most participants have Autism Spectrum Disorder and related diagnoses\, but a formal diagnosis isn’t required for participation. If you aren’t sure if your teen is a fit for DATA\, please reach out and we can help. Our patient and passionate instructors have extensive experience working with neurodivergent teens\, and all have relevant combined training and/or degrees in fields like fine art\, special education and social work. \nDATA is tuition free and space is limited. Fall session application is open now.\n\nOctober 3-December 12\n(10 classes\, no class Nov 28)\nSaturdays\n10am-1pm\nat Squeaky Wheel\n  \nThis fall we are thrilled to welcome back Teaching Artist Jake Reber. We will use a range of digital tools for drawing\, animation\, and game design. Students will have the option of incorporating projects they are already working on\, or starting with fresh ideas.  \nScroll down to “tickets” to complete the simple application form.  Please note that this is an application that must be reviewed\, not a first-come first-serve registration. \nIf this is your first time applying to DATA\, you’ll hear from Caroline\, our Education Director\, to schedule a phone call or meeting to discuss the program in greater detail\, and to ensure that we are a good fit for each other. From there\, the Education team will review all approved applicants and fill any open spots. Preference is given to returning students\, those already on the waitlist\, and new applicants with the strongest interest. Anyone we aren’t able to invite to the fall session will be automatically added to the waitlist for future sessions. \nWhile we welcome all skill levels\, DATA is usually the best fit for students who can confidently work independently and who already know they have a strong interest in computer-based digital arts. We unfortunately aren’t able to support individuals with high one-on-one needs. \nQuestions? Please email caroline@squeaky.org\, or call 716-884-7172. \n\n  \nDATA is generously supported by The Children’s Guild Foundation\, The Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation and the Golisano Foundation\, with nutrition support from Wegmans. Thank you!! \n  \n
