BAYCAT is an innovative social enterprise that educates, empowers, and employs young and aspiring BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color), LGBTQIA+, and women artists in the Bay Area, who lack access to opportunities to study and create digital media art. BAYCAT is reinvesting in historically oppressed communities by empowering youth to find their voices and become authentic storytellers and innovative leaders, equipped with the skills, hands-on training, and professional experience needed to compete for jobs and build equity in our communities. By combining media arts with innovative technology, we are changing not only the stories that get told but the storytellers who get to tell them.
