Immersive Media Design New Works Incubator Showcase (Iribe Center)

The Immersive Media Design New Works Incubator Showcase presents projects created through the University of Maryland’s Immersive Media Design Program. The works are developed during a nine-week summer program that supports students from across UMD in creating immersive media based on their individual interests and creative initiatives. Both individual students and collaborative teams participate in the incubator.

The showcase is part of NextNOW Fest, The Clarice’s annual, multi-day festival of innovative performances and experiences by artists from UMD and around the country. The festival is open to the general public and is part of the university’s Arts for All initiative.
