This June, featured artists from collaborating stop-motion animation studios such as LAIKA, HouseSpecial, ShadowMachine and Tippett Studio will share their craft, career stories and timeless art form June 20-22 at the Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts. The featured exhibit is co-curated by MOSMA (Museum of Stop Motion Animation) and Tiffany Schuster.
Animation: From Script to Screen – While often associated with iconic films like ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Wendell and Wild and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, stop-motion has drawn in a new generation of fans and filmmakers. During this exhibit, you can meet animators, see scripts, storyboards and immerse yourself in maquettes and puppet fabrication, while learning about the four parts of the film process and technological advances.
Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts is presented by Lakewood Center for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts institution dedicated to providing arts education, performance and exhibition opportunities to the region. Its mission is to inspire and nurture a love of theatre and the arts.
Established in 1963, Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts attracts up to 30,000 visitors over the three day weekend. This event is free with a suggested donation, making it accessible to all. Shuttles will be available.
