Amber Pope came to the University of California, Santa Cruz wanting to be an accountant but soon realized that her Economics major wasn’t adding up. Looking for summer opportunities in line with her switch to Sociology, Pope applied to BAVC’s Bridges Fellowship on the recommendation of one of her professors.
Thanks to the BAVC’s Preservation Access Program, I was able to preserve the 2”-master of my film Proust + Vermeer , which was made in French. After a hefty archeological dig, the originial turned up in its unmistakable green plastic box.
BAVC helped me decide where I should go with my career. Before attending the Bridges Fellowship I had a partial toolbox of skills and some loose ideas about my future, but I wasn't sure how to make it all work. After taking a class in Javascript, I learned that programming wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it was.
In June 2014, I took a huge leap and left a job I hated to wholeheartedly pursue my goal of being an illustrator and graphic designer. It was the scariest and best thing I've ever done.
I recall my relationship with Bay Area Video Coalition beginning in 1982 when I produced Art In The Park. BAVC was one of the exhibiting artists groups who enhanced the event with their presence. My awareness of BAVC's presence and impact in our communities has remained since that time.
