Digital Arts at Selkirk College

Digital Arts at Selkirk College The digital world is constantly evolving, and so are you. CREATE. LEARN. SUCCEED.

Our Digital Arts program is for creators, innovators, and problem solvers like you who are ready to take their place in the future of design, technology and creative thinking. If you're searching for a way to turn your creative passion into a career, Selkirk College's Digital Arts and New Media program is your answer, and it's closer than you think. It doesn't matter if your kit contains canvas, c

ode or cameras — from smartphone snapshots to laptop recording studios, everyone's carrying the tools to create new media. But owning the technological equivalent of a hammer doesn't mean you know how to build a digital palace! If you have the spark to create something more than a blog full of cat photos, Digital Arts has the technology, space and training you need to shape your future, and it's right here in the Kootenays. DANM's comprehensive two-year curriculum will train you in the digital disciplines necessary to triumph in the world of creative media. Small class sizes mean both you and your art will benefit from attention to detail – you'll receive one-on-one support from DANM's faculty of experts and award-winning professionals. Explore a wide range of in-demand skills and hone your personal interests at the same time, from digital photography and web design to sound recording and video production. From start to finish, the program will provide you with countless opportunities to explore your passions and learn at the same time. When you complete the program and enter the workforce, your mission is to change the world with your mastery of digital media, and make a great living doing it. You'll be equipped with skills that matter to employers and practical, real-world experience that can help a savvy graduate become his or her own boss. DANM's curriculum is guided by a panel of industry professionals, so whether you want to build web apps, produce videos, design for print or literally build worlds out of 3D models, you'll enter the workforce with skills relevant to the digital workplace, now and in the future.

DESIGNED BY HUMAN INTELLIGENCE
Digital Arts at Selkirk College | Info Session

While the world races to automate creativity, our students are doing the opposite. They're learning to make things the correct way. Illustration. Motion graphics. Branding. Animation. Web. With their own hands, their own eyes, and the kind of trained creative judgment no algorithm can fake.

Why students love this program:
• Small class sizes where you're a name, not a number
• Personalized attention from instructors who know your work
• A tight creative community in one of BC's most creative mountain towns
• Hands-on studio time with industry-standard gear and software
• Real projects, real critiques, real growth
• Studios so good you'll want to live in them
• Mountains, lakes, and trails the moment you step outside the studio
• Nelson is a real college town with a vibrant night life in a gorgeous natural setting

Why families love this program:
• World-class instruction from working professionals
• Tuition that won't bury you (or your kid) in debt
• A portfolio that gets graduates hired locally, nationally, anywhere

Anyone can prompt. Designers create.

Start your career here. Or your degree. Or both.

Monday, June 1 | 6–7 PM

Wanting to make things isn’t enough.

You need a room. You need the tools. You need someone who’ll show you once and then let you get on with it.

That’s what small looks like. That’s what small town education gives you. No line ups to use the printer, and an instructor that remembers your name.

Selkirk graduates don’t just leave with a diploma and a hard drive full of concepts. They leave with work. Physical things. Real files. A portfolio that existed before second year.

On April 17th and 18th, come see what these talented students have created.

Then ask yourself where you want to be this time next year.

Digital Arts. Digital Fabrication & Design.
The School of Arts & Technology at Selkirk College.

Applications open now. Details in bio.
