ABOUT
SPARKVIDEO:
With the implementation of a monthly video series in 2001, Spark
Contemporary Art Space emerged as the leading venue for Video
Art in Syracuse, New York. In 2003 Spark expanded, adding a
second venue in Beacon, New York and last season we expanded
again, opening a third venue in London Canada. For our current
programming year, each monthly event will consist of one SPARK
VIDEO INTERNATIONAL program and one program of community based
video known as SPARK HOME VIDEO .The result is a monthly series
that supports local exhibition, stimulates community through
International exhibition and curatorial collaboration, and provides
a new audience for artists living all over the world.
