INSIDE OUT (I/O) - I/O Workshop
The 'Building Sound' workshop by Agnes Szelag focused on building contact microphones; through this process youth were introduced to some basic electrical and electronic music concepts.
The workshop began with a brief discussion of some basic audio theory, followed by a short demonstration of contact microphone applications. The youth lso went over some basic electrical and safety information. Finally, for the majority of the time, the group engaged in using the materials to build some contact microphones for themselves.

| Meridian Gallery - Meridian Interns Program (MIP) | ||
Founded in 1996, the Meridian Interns Program (MIP) is a paid internship for low-income teens from all over San Francisco in which Artist Instructors integrate art-making workshops with training in job-related skills. The Society for Art Publications of the Americas applies for support to sustain its Meridian Interns Program which uses a designated studio in its non-profit Meridian Gallery as a base for experiential work in the arts. Youth are taught by a team of five or six artists. Conceived as a natural offshoot of the programming of Meridian Gallery, MIP transforms the knowledge and energy of the people and resources associated with Meridian Gallery into a unique educational experience, providing approximately 34 youth each year the chance to work with and learn from professional interdisciplinary artists. |
