Collaborations
The Centre has not had an in-house exhibition space since 1992. Instead, we have initiated the creative activity of finding the “perfect” venue for each programming event. Thus we rent space or collaborate with diverse groups and organizations to use their spaces. These partnerships have increased others’ awareness of the Centre and its programs along with an expansion and cross-pollination of audiences. Recent and upcoming venues include: the Eyelevel gallery, the Khyber Arts Centre, Neptune Theatre, the Mi’kmaq Native Friendship Centre, the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University, the Dalhousie Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery and Saint Mary’s University Gallery. Introduction to Programs
The Centre stimulates the production, research and presentation of new works through three areas: annual programs, exhibitions, and production resources. There are five established Annual Programs: the Local Artist-In-Residence Program, the Visiting Artist Program, the Media Arts Scholarship Program, the New Media and Electronics Lab, and the Video to Go Program. There is an on-going commitment to exhibitions and presentations developed through our Annual Programming Grant that consists of approximately twenty presentations, exhibitions and guest curatorial projects per year; and the Centre preserves work in our archive and showcases productions through the Media Train. By focusing our energy around these eight areas of activity we support a wide range of media artists who work in different genres.

In conjunction with the 2026 Online Edition of the Small File Media Festival, SMALL FILE MEDIA SOCIETY and CFAT PRESENT:

VOIDMAXXING (Joy That Kills)
Curated by Joey Malbon · 60 min. · 78.0 MB
Wednesday, Nov. 4, 7PM @ 2238 Maitland Street. FREE

🕳️ Hole like a hole, hole as your hole, I'd rather hole then give you a hole. Holes beget bodies beget holes in a hole tableau. Allow yourself to become uncomfortably close to the void as these eleven small films transverse bodies, liquid humours, and VHS spaces. From whispered secrets to analog backroom dreams, tiny delights await. 🕳️

Small File Media Festival 2026 streams sustainably online October 31—November 7, 2026. The Small File Media Society was founded in 2020 to raise awareness of the high carbon footprint of streaming media. The festival proposes alternative solutions for media practice, as well as modes of thinking otherwise in media theory, which converged in an annual live and online festival of sustainable experimental media.

Alt. Ctrl. Industry ⚡️

What if we got to make games more like we play them: with meaningful choices?

Presented by Esther Fraser, this presentation explores how worker co-operatives put game makers in the driver's seat and give worker-members the tools to respond in the ways that are best for them ✊

Learn how to form your own at the C4AG on September 19 @ The Bus Stop Theatre!
