Digital media is the language that shapes our contemporary society. At Wide Angle, that’s the big picture.

Whether for learning, business, social interaction, activism, or entertainment, digital media influences everything from who we vote for to how we spend our money and the communities we join and embrace. We equip young people from historically minoritized and marginalized communities with the skills and tools to capture, document, and write the stories of our time.

Dream with us. Now, after more than 23 years of learning, creating, and growing, the big picture for Wide Angle is getting even bigger. Wide Angle’s Studios at the Service Center will deepen our impact on students, the community, and the Baltimore region.

Build with us. We have a one-time opportunity to create the home of our dreams. Our new headquarters will feature a full production studio, community gathering area, art gallery, and office space for a growing staff. It will have cutting-edge technology, allowing us to work with students from their first interest to being ready for full-time work in professional media fields. Your support can help us build towards a new tomorrow, today.

Inspire with us. By contributing to the campaign for Wide Angle’s Studios at the Service Center, donors are investing in Baltimore’s youth for an entire generation. Over a 25-year lease period, Wide Angle Youth Media will prepare thousands of young people for success in college and careers.
