The Creative Talent Network Expo (aka The CTN Expo) has become a must-attend event for animation artists in Southern California each November. For those who can’t wait for the next CTN, next Saturday and Sunday you get your wish. On April 13th and 14th, CTN in association with the Burbank Arts Festival is hosting a special outdoor event showcasing animation artists in the community.
From 10am to 5pm each day, on San Fernando, between Olive and Angeleno, in beautiful downtown Burbank, CTN will be hosting artists booths and hold the ultimate outdoor meet-and-greet. CTN topper Tina Price says it’s “a casual event to meet artists, buy books and artwork and have fun”.
And it’s free. If you sign up at http://www.ctnanimationroadtrip.eventbrite.com/ you are automatically entered into their Road Trip Raffle (but to be eligible to win you must stop by the Creative Talent Network booth and fill out a “Road Trip Raffle” card so they know you came to the event).
