"In my experience with the CalArts Animation Intensive, I’ve had my limits tested and learned to embrace the discomfort through a process that allowed me to genuinely reflect on my areas for improvement. Every critique I received from my professors only served to push me forward and I have quickly grown because of it." -Catherine Busch

Are you ready to push yourself to new heights? Applications for Animation Intensive due May 26.
