Hi all!

I'm a freelance artist studying programming, in the Northwest US, near Seattle WA. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions of game developers to contact for educational tours? What companies are most likely to be friendly enough and have the time to chat with students? I've heard of students visiting companies such as Valve, Gas Powered Games or others.

Thanks for any ideas. :)

Electronic Arts has a fairly robust internship program with the aim of getting first crack at new talent. I was at their "campus" in Redwood Shores a few weeks ago and saw more than one group of young visitors touring the grounds, so you might want to give them a try. If Northern California is too far for you, the Vancouver tenticle of EA might have a similar program.
