About

The Cincinnati Animation Network was founded in 2013. We share work, discuss challenges of freelance and production work, practice and create together, and share information that is needed to be a successful animation artist.

We are partners with the Cincinnati Film Society and together we are working toward creating filmmaker grants, workshops, festivals, screenings, and classes to encourage animation for all ages in Cincinnati.

There is currently no charge for membership, all you need to do is join the Facebook group, follow the Facebook page, and/or join the E-newsletter. Then come to a meeting or event!

 If you would like to volunteer, if you have an idea for an event, or if you have feedback or suggestions, email Darcy at cincycan@gmail.com
