Presenting more than 1,100 artists and screening more than 650 films in the last decade, Media Arts Santa Ana, founded by Creative Capital Award-winning artists Victor Payan and Sandra “Pocha” Peña Sarmiento, recently completed its 10th anniversary year. MASA is a community-based digital arts organization that focuses on the growth and development of digital media arts for all ages, welcoming diverse communities across Santa Ana and Orange County.
The organization offers free screenings, workshops, presentations, community meetings, gallery exhibits, artist talks, digital media classes, fashion shows, craft fairs, festivals and anything under the umbrella of the arts.
While MASA has enjoyed 10 successful years, Payan and Pocha’s work with the community stretches long before MASA opened its doors. MASA stemmed from wanting to enrich the community about digital media arts and creating an accessible space for local artists and curious community members to grow their skills and excel in media arts and beyond.
