The Eagle Valley Library District and High Five Access Media have received an award for production of the short video “Ballot Measure 6a” from the Alliance for Community Media, which nationally represents more than 3,000 public, educational and governmental access centers.

To celebrate the Class of 2020, Eagle County Schools will hold a series of virtual graduation ceremonies for local high schools that include performances, speeches, recognition and certification of graduates, and congratulatory messages that will show on High Five Access Media.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we want our volunteers to know we’re thankful they are a part of the High Five Access Media family. Community access media is a grassroots effort by locals to create a diverse tapestry of voices on local cable television and the internet.

You asked, and you shall receive. We’re throwing open our doors on evenings and Saturdays this winter so volunteer community producers have more opportunities to create content to share with friends, family and the community.

The possibilities for open studio hours are limitless...

Our new vision at High Five Access Media is to offer the community more educational opportunities to learn about, create and share media, especially for local youth. What better way for students to find their voice and share their vision for the future than through community media?

We hope to build a culture of creativity and collaboration through visual arts, and create a rich tapestry of voices in Eagle County.

These opportunities begin Oct. 24 and include an upcoming series of workshops in partnership with Mountain Recreation. In October, November and December, we’ll hold individual workshops for youth ages 12 and up to learn about storytelling, Claymation, cinematography and field production.

Looking to stay active during the fall break Oct. 14 to 17? Look no further, High Five Access Media has you covered. We’ll be offering youth ages 13 to 18 free half-hour demonstrations from 10 to 10:30 a.m. on multimedia, video coloring, Claymation and green screens and open studio hours from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The lights shine bright Friday nights beginning Sept. 6 at 7 p.m. when the Battle Mountain Huskies football team plays against the Alameda Pirates live on High Five Access Meat.

All Battle Mountain varsity home football games are televised live, on local cable Channel 5, or your smartphone, tablet or computer on Live on Five at www.highfivemedia.org/live-five.
