Luck: When opportunity meets preparation Motivarti began as a student club at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.
The club was called Picture This, and the goal was to bridge the gap between the student experience and the working world. We created Motivarti to pick up where Picture This left off, and to expand its potential even further. We look forward to continuing to provide access to the experience and advice of industry professionals, as well as offering relevant classes and workshops that will sharpen the skills needed to build and maintain a career in the entertainment industry.
