together we will make the difference!!
We believe the talent deserves better from us. So, we have designed an entirely NEW experience - one that is rich in value and based on a fresh perspective of growth and opportunities. We've already helped tens of thousands of artists build the kind of life, skillset and network they need to succeed in the real world. With your help, we hope to continue that trend. Click on image.
Going beyond traditional methods. A CTN Community partnership helps our industry in a more meaningful and memorable ways than any other conventional method by aligning your support directly with the interests and needs of these artists at all levels. CTN events ensure the type of equality and quality within our community that you can be proud of. This industry trusts CTN, Click on image
Storytelling artists and filmmakers contribute to the future of humanity and the world we live in. We love, laugh, cry, and dream together through art, movies, books, and online media throughout our entire life. The future of the fabric of our lives and the health of the planet depend on the stories that are told today. Help us in our mission to sustain this community. Click on image.
We appreciate you.
In 2009, many of you supported the then 'brand new' CTN - just a spark of an idea for an animation community event focused on the talent of past, present, and future. Now 15+ years later, many of you have stayed and we have touched tens of thousands together. We are more excited than ever to work with you in completing your vision and sharing the magic!! Thank you! Click on image
Until everyone wins, no one wins. Artists learn from other artists. The CTN Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization is dedicated to celebrating and supporting visual storytellers of all ages, genders, budgets, ethnicities, and geographic locations. Doing foundation work is so rewarding and simply brings an unimaginable amount of joy by giving back in this way. Click on image
