Community Access Center

Public Media Network’s Community Access Center is a space powered by creativity and technology for storytellers, artists, social change makers, independent creators, and community organizations.

 

You + PMN = Powerful Storytelling

Your involvement with Public Media Network will not only enrich your own creative endeavors but will also contribute to the vibrancy and inclusivity of our local media scene. Together, as storytellers, changemakers, and media enthusiasts, we can illuminate, educate, and celebrate the Greater Kalamazoo community through the power of media.

Sign up for an upcoming information session or book a tour to learn more about how to get started at Public Media Network’s Community Access Center.

As a member, you can bring your vision to life through a range of benefits, including

  • Access to professional studio space

  • Access to industry-grade media equipment and software

  • Opportunities to connect and learn with creators, video producers, visual journalists, community organizers, and others who share your passion

  • Media production support and distribution platforms

Choose between exclusive distribution or open distribution options.

Exclusive Distribution: You agree to only distribute content produced using resources of the Community Access Center through Public Media Network. You can still share and promote the content on PMN through other platforms.

Open Distribution: You can distribute content produced using Community Access Center resources through any platform of your choice, including Public Media Network. If you distribute the content through Public Media Network, you will receive a 5 credit pack applied to your account (valid for up to 12 months with an active membership).

Credits are used to manage usage of the Community Access Center Resources based on your membership level.

Credits do not roll-over from month-to-month. Additional credit packs can be purchased that are valid for 12 months as long as an active membership is maintained.

Additional credit packs are $50 for 5 credits.
