Thank you!

On June 24, more than 60 people celebrated the opening of the new Reel Grrls Media Lab - home to the only year round media training program exclusively for girls ages 12-19 in Seattle's Central District. Thanks to everyone who participated in the event, and especially to our mentors who ran the animation stations and Central Cinema, for the fantastic catering. Our sincere thanks also go to The Stuart Foundation and 4Culture for their generous support of our remodel (done by Red Truck Construction). Our new address is 1409 21st Avenue, Seattle, WA 98122.
