2023 Made in NY Animation Project Showcase
On May 31, 2023 at 11:30am, TAP is showcasing participants’ work (including YOUR GIFs!) to the wider community at the iconic SVA theatre in Manhattan. With a focus on amplifying representation in the industry, this event aims to celebrate, showcase, and connect TAP participants to the larger creative community. This event makes space for participants to hear from critical voices in the animation and related fields, and see work coming from the stories and identities in the community.
Industry professionals who represent the diverse identities of our participants and audience are invited to share their journeys, providing insights on their experience while working in the animation industry and related creative fields.
