CATV launches crowdfunding campaign to create a new public center for media arts
White River Junction, VT – With a little help from our neighbors and friends, Upper Valley residents will soon be able to enjoy “JAM” (Junction Arts & Media), a free, public film and media arts “playground'' for all ages to come together to create. CATV has been selected by the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development’s Better Places Program to lead the transformation of an empty storefront in the former “Newberry Market” of the Gates-Briggs Building into JAM – an inclusive community center that will host interactive media activities and workshops, installation video art, exhibits by local media artists, screenings, and pop-up outdoor events including expanded cinema and live music featuring local creators.
Today is Day One. We need you! The grant requires a strong show of local support before a 2:1 matching grant can be released by the state of Vermont. CATV has just 45 days to meet our goal of $15,000 to unlock an additional $30,000 – meaning every dollar raised will be tripled – enabling us to build an inclusive community center that harnesses the positive potential of the media arts to build bridges of empathy and strengthen community bonds.
Will you help us kick off strong start TODAY by showing your support HERE? Thank you!

"People with marginalized identities in the Upper Valley need the scaffolding to build confidence in media to have agency over how their stories are told and feel a sense of safety in a historically homogeneous community." This is one of many insights gather by the team of Dartmouth College seniors who undertook an in-depth Human-Centered Design process to guide CATV in its evolution to meet the local media needs of the Upper Valley community in our radically transformed media landscape.
Learn from Prof. Eugene Korsunskiy about the process and view the final presentations along with 4 other undergrad teams whose design efforts supported non-profits Dismas House of Hartford, Special Needs Support Center, Dartmouth Health's Traumatic Brain research, and Sustainable Woodstock.
Event produced by Jordyn Fitch, CATV Community Engagement Producer

Shelf Help – Episode 10
The bookstore owners attempt to answer our good friend Shari Altman's question "I am looking for strange and beautiful novels about middle age." We note that Shari is nowhere near approaching middle age; we then debate what defines middle age. Allie, Sam, Emma, and Kari recommend a few books in response to her query, including House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune; Agatha of Little Neon by Claire Luchette; So Lucky by Nicola Griffith; One DOA, One on the Way by Mary Robison; and The Swimmers by Julia Otsuka.
Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community; three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

Intersections – Episode 10
Our guest describes her youth in the Upper Valley, feeling a part of her hometown community in activities like bake sales and bingo nights, and a grounding within her family. Adult life, full of work, errands and obligation, has lessened her sense of belonging. She invites us to identify the ways in which small acts of recognition, as simple as greeting one another or using our turn signals, contribute to building a sense of inclusion.
Intersections was created by Michelle and Julius, co-workers and friends who wanted to create an open-ended platform for sharing our experiences of community in the Upper Valley. To share your story or questions, you’re invited to email them at: intersections@catv8.org
