Reflecting on the Foundation’s mission, Cindy Wang shared, “Supporting creative spaces like the Alex Gray ’97 Media Lab aligns perfectly with our goal to inspire young minds. Media arts offer students a powerful way to communicate and express themselves, and we’re thrilled to contribute to their journeys in creativity. Nurturing a love for art and expression at a young age is essential, as these experiences can truly shape their perspectives and open doors for the future.”

Through this contribution, The Bridge Arts Foundation reinforces its dedication to fostering an early appreciation for the arts, encouraging middle and high school students to develop essential skills and confidence in creative fields. The lab not only introduces students to media arts but also provides an environment where they can discover their talents and potential career paths, blending education with hands-on exploration.
The Bridge Arts Foundation looks forward to seeing generations of Polytechnic students thrive in this innovative space, embracing the world of media and the arts. This lab stands as a testament to the power of community support in education, bridging the gap between traditional and modern forms of artistic expression and helping students build the skills they need to become the next generation of innovators and creators.
