The New York City Art Scene

The state of New York has the second highest population of animators in the U.S. and more than 90 percent live in New York City. Although Los Angeles holds the crown for producing and housing more animators than any other city, the New York City animation scene sees itself as a creative alternative to the L.A., rather than living in it’s shadow. Instead of relying on large studios to produce the bulk of the art in NYC, the industry taps into its hearty network of local freelancers and prolific indie production studios, with the goal of creating works with varied (and interesting) points of view.
