CTN is Bringin' it On to Pass it On - One Artist at a Time!
"CTN is Bringin' it On to Pass it On - One Artist at a Time!" Dates: November 18-20, 2011 "Animation Capital of the World"
Our theme this year is "The Chain of Inspiration". Why? Because you can't create in a vacuum and everything creative is strongly connected. A Designer is inspired by an Engineer and a Scientist will gain insight from a Poet and a Writer will have his eyes opened from a painting while a Sculptor will gain inspiration from nature and an Illustrator from history on and on....Animation artists are looking at and connecting to everything to create that next memorable character or world. The chain of inspiration that inspires us to keep going has no boundaries, no rules, or limits. You never know where the "next big idea or career changing moment" is going to come from but your odds are increased that it will happen while at CTN-X.
To that end, CTN brings you a variety of business, creative, technical and inspirational presenters from various walks of life to reaffirm that CTN-X as that jewel in the crown, that "one of a kind" show where we get to rise out of the production trenches for 3 whole days to experience visual stimulation, fantastic connections and powerful inspiration.
We are merely messengers on this journey so please absorb what you find here, take it home with you and pass it on!
Sharing the CTN spirit one artist at a time, Your host, Tina Price Founder and CEO The Creative Talent Network |
