FRED Wildlife Refuge is a privately-run, collaborative art center that includes a photo studio, art gallery, performance/rehearsal studio (for physical arts) and scene shop. A refuge for Seattle’s most inventive and innovative artists FRED challenges creatives to break away from their normal routine and venture into unlikely collaborations with artists of disciplines other than their own. FRED will provide space for collaboration among (but not limited to) music, dance, physical performance, digital media, literary artists and visual artists to enter into cross-genre partnerships with the intent of adding new repertoire to Seattle’s already vibrant art scene.
Chris Snell, FRED Wildlife Refuge’s founder teamed up with Tim Reha (New Media Synergy) to create Seattle’s first real-time events HD studio. The partnership incorporates New Media Synergy’s array of technology partnerships. For example Infocus Corporation teamed up to provide over $50,000.00 in HD visual projection gear to create a massive 20FT X 60FT video wall.
