WAnimate is an industry association, aimed at encouraging and developing
the animation entertainment and education business. It is a focal point
for the growing number of professional animators and producers in Western
Australia.
WAnimate has
no actual staff, and is run by volunteers - so we need to be lean
and mean, and allocate our resources
where they benefit our members the most.
If you're a member
who wants to suggest an event, or otherwise give feedback about
what we do, we encourage you to get
in contact - either
by email, at a meeting, or you're welcome to approach committee members
who have listed their contact details directly: |
Passionate
about the development of the Animation Industry in Western
Australia?

We would
be happy to hear from members who'd like to get more involved,
as we're keen for a diverse range of representatives on
our
Committee. |
