Collin College Frisco Campus Hosts Media Arts Student Showcase at IT Center

April 13, 2023 Collin College Frisco Campus will host a Media Arts Student Showcase on April 27 from 7-9 p.m. at the IT Center. Student work in animation, game art, and video production will be on display in classrooms and in the video production lab for family, friends, and the community. There will also be interactive activities to enjoy.

Several of the media arts programs under the Communication Design program, such as animation and video production, moved into the new IT Center at the Frisco Campus when it opened in 2021. The center provided more state-of-the-art classrooms, workspaces, and equipment specific to these programs.

The IT Center opened up more space to allow our programs to blossom, said Animation and Game Art Professor Gail Ellison, who is organizing the showcase. So, this year we wanted to show off our students work to the community which includes video production, storyboard art, 2D and 3D animation, 3D modeling, game art, and much more.

There will also be interactive activities for guests to enjoy and a reception in the atrium. The Frisco Campus is located at 9700 Wade Blvd., Frisco.
