¿Que Hacemos?

We work hard to bring the Latin animation community together in a variety of ways. Check out our initiatives below: Discord Server, In-Person Events in LA and NY, Virtual Panels with industry professionals, and Viva Los Shorts! We’re also working on new initiatives, so stay tuned!

At Viva La Animación, it was important for us to find a way stay connected across continents. We built a server not only to create a creative hub for our members, but to also share resources and official VLA announcements. Our server now has over 500 members across the U.S. and Latin America. Tailored to the Latin animation community with virtual drawing nights, writing groups, job postings, resources, and more, we’ve created a dynamic online casita for our members. Practice your drawing, ask questions, and get feedback with us at Viva La Animación!

We’ve hosted a variety of in-person events, from museum drawing sessions to mixers in the Los Angeles area and in New York. To help our members gain wider access to the animation community, we’ve collaborated with organizations such as Latinx in Gaming, Asians in Animation, XR Motion, and more. Join us for our next one! If you’d like to collaborate for an event, feel free to contact us!

We host monthly virtual panels with industry professionals to bring a variety of perspectives and wisdom to our community. Explore our archive of past panels, featuring interviews with Latin animation professionals and workshops to help you sharpen your portfolio. If you’d like to be a panelist, feel free to contact us.

Celebrate animation with Viva Los Shorts—our upcoming showcase highlighting works submitted by our very own VLA community.
