Welcome to ASIFA Portland

Welcome to ASIFA Portland, your local community of animators and animation enthusiasts! Our local chapter of ASIFA began in 1987 in Portland, Oregon and has been a huge part of the amazing animation community here in the Pacific Northwest. Portland and the surrounding areas have a long history in animation, form voice actors like Mel Blanc to icons like Matt Groening (a personal hero). We have large studios, small studios, and independent animators working in every conceivable medium, it truly is an awe-inspiring group we have here!

ASIFA Portland holds meetings, screenings, member screenings, workshops, guest lectures, and coming soon, a newsletter filled with information relevant to all of us in the Pacific Northwest.

I consider it an honor to be a part of this community and can feel, as many of you do, the national reputation of Portland as an animation town growing every year. When you pick your head up from your desk and look around, the natural beauty of the area and the creative energy around you is astounding.

Take a look around the site, and join ASIFA Portland today!

Thanks,

Brian Larson

When: Friday, April 4th, 2008
Where: The Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby in Portland, OR

But Wait, There's More! We will also have our own ASIFA Portland t-shirts available to buy. They are cool, hip and elevate you above the masses.

We'll send out a reminder to members and guests soon, but go ahead and mark the date now. Get back into the animation scene in Portland and see what everyone else is doing!

See you all soon!
