Video Game Museum Seeks Further Funding

OAKLAND, CA — The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (The MADE) has kicked off its second fundraising campaign, with the goal of raising $20,000 to fund the operation for another six months.
The non-profit video game museum (www.themade.org) plans to use these funds to continue its free programming classes for kids, and to keep the lights on for the Museum’s general use.

The MADE is dedicated to the preservation of videogames, and the presentation of games as an art. The History of 3D is the first exhibit hosted by the Museum since it secured a location in October.
