We are dedicated to helping our young people maximize their potential by using the 4 E’s strategy of Education, Engagement, Encouragement and Empowerment. We believe in using media arts as the keys to building a safe, nurturing and creative environment. Detroit is the 2nd largest Theater Market in America, but many of the residents who live in our city don’t know about the opportunities that Media Arts offer. Que Blackout wants to introduce this opportunity to the young people in Detroit. Since the late 80’s Detroit has become a city that has historically been in the top 5 in violent crimes including murder which make the living conditions hard. To combat this issue we have a performance space with A/V equipment and a stage, for use of the Que Blackout program students. Each Saturday morning, our youths will gather to learn about media art and technical theater. For 12 weeks terms students will learn techniques and be introduced to a new aspect of media arts (lights, sound, special effect, videography, and adobe suites) and have the opportunity to display their creativity in a city that is making a comeback.
