In a blog post, executive director Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor said the move represented a fresh chapter for the organization.

“Our staff has shown immense support and understanding during this challenging time, and we are grateful for their continued dedication to our mission,” Bortolon-Vettor said.

She said that Silence has been welcoming, and they are looking forward to growing their partnership.

Ed Video will be closed until Jan. 20 but will be open after that on Tuesdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Evan Gordon, president, board members and volunteers will help maintain services including gear rentals.

They plan to reopen fully in April once funding is in place, but if additional funding is received before then, regular operations could resume sooner. A crowdfunding campaign was created on Dec. 13 and has raised $1,650 as of Jan. 6.

Goals for the future of Ed Video include continuing media arts education and providing resources, exhibiting media arts around the city, increasing access to media arts by bringing a mobile gallery to schools, and collaborating with local organizations.

In 2024, the centre hosted 17 workshops and provided more than 100 members, artists and partner organizations with access to media arts equipment and mentorship. It held 13 exhibitions, developed six new media arts projects and provided 190 equipment rentals.

“We are incredibly excited for the future and look forward to the opportunities this new chapter brings. We greatly appreciate the ongoing support of our members, volunteers and community,” said Bortolon-Vettor.

She said Ed Video works to enrich Guelph’s cultural fabric and strengthens the social ties that bind people together.
