Digital Arts Resource Centre, formerly SAW Video, is a not-for-profit, artist-run media arts centre based in Ottawa, Ontario. The organization supports the growth and development of artists through access to equipment, facilities, training, mentorship, and public programming.
DARC also offers direct funding and residency opportunities for media artists. Its Media Art Production Fund supports Extended Access members in the creation of independent video and media art projects by providing production support in the form of equipment access, facility access, and technical support. DARC additionally presents other grants and residencies, including exhibition assistance and artist residencies.
Through this work, DARC acts as an important cultural funding and support organization for media artists in the Ottawa-Gatineau region, with programming and application support available in both English and French.
