SATURDAY 5:30pm (PDT)! Don’t miss it!
Animation Resources is hosting monthly Discord parties on its Discord server. Join us the last Saturday of every month to participate in discussions and network with fellow artists from all over the world. The party starts at 4:30 pm (PDT) and the program begins at 5:30 pm.
THIS MONTH’S PROGRAM
Our schedule of monthly programs under the banner Discord Discussions continues this Saturday September 26th!
All artists aren’t the same. There are a lot of people giving advice on how to get a job at a studio working on features and TV shows, but people who aspire to “go it alone” as an independent animator are often left on their own to figure out how to build a successful career. There are strategies and responsibilities that come with being your own boss. You have freedom to control your own destiny, so you want to make sure you keep moving forward. Animation Resources is there to help.
Join us Saturday for an informal discussion of the advantages of pursuing a career as an independent animator. Learn how to avoid the pitfalls and chart your course for yourself. Find out how wide the world of cartooning is! Have fun meeting other like-minded folks!

ABOUT DISCORD
Discord is a free chat app that supports video, voice chat and text chat. Discord servers are divided into channels, which all have their own subject or theme of discussion. Members are assigned roles which helps everyone keep track of who’s who. The Animation Resources Discord channel is a virtual meeting place for our supporters. You can meet other Animation Resources members, talk with the people behind the scenes at our organization, and attend lectures and screenings— all without leaving your home. It’s free and open to everyone in the creative community. If you’d like more info on how Discord works, see this article: What is Discord?
