Video workshop leaders for 1997-98 were Jorge Fiedler, Jody Lafond, Robin Smith, and Dwaine Ten'y. l Hallwalls' Youth In Residence project has been made possible by a grant from the Cultural Incentive Flmding Program (CII-`P).

This special, one-day workshop with Sadie Benning is being held in conjunction with an ongoing 10-week video workshop with Buffalo's Gay & Lesbian Youth Services (GLYS) led by video artist Robin Smith.

She retums to Buffalo to work closely with local GLYS youth helping them to develop their projects for Ways In Being Gay. "My total desire is to reach kids. But they don't come to museums, galleries, and independent festivals. I've done shows at high schools. I really want to think of new ways to reach that audience-without MTV" (Benning). While Sadie's workshop is limited to GLYS participants, we do encourage peo- ple interested in observing to attend. Call Squeaky Wheel for more info.at 884-7172.
