The Sanctuary for Independent Media

The Sanctuary for Independent Media is part of Media Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to use art and participatory action to promote social and environmental justice and freedom of creative expression. 

We have been building an arts an environmental campus in North Central Troy. We operate indoor and outdoor performance and production facilities (the Sanctuary and Freedom Square), a radio station (WOOC 105.3 FM), community gardens (Collard City Growers), a STE(a)M learning center (NATURE Lab), and youth programs (Uptown Summer and Youth Media Sanctuary), all of which would not be possible without the support of volunteers!
