EXhibiting ARTIST AWARD PROGRAM

HONORING UP AND COMING FUTURE STORYTELLERS

Description of the Program

The Exhibiting Artist Program's main focus is to support, cultivate, and empower new independent and future storytellers with an artist exhibitor opportunity at conferences, art galleries, and other events around the world.


We are looking for artists with a passion for visual storytelling in animation who have never had the opportunity to exhibit.  All voices, ethnicities, and talent are welcome, ages 18 and up.  The CTN Foundation Scholarship Program is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization that is talent-driven, and awards based on portfolio submissions.
