Join the fight. Studios are making billions while stopping projects, haulting original ideas, and putting many artists on unemployment and fighting for survival in a field they trained their lives for. Creatives are being taken advantage of and it's only getting worse with studios looking to use a.i. to cheapen work and make things based only on algorithms.
It's bleak, but we're working to keep art in animation. Help get the word out and support creatives you like. Many of us are now working to get our own ideas off the ground without the blocks of studios, constant rejections from disappointments that we're pitching original ideas (A real complaint I've received from studios), and without the many notes to make our ideas fit into a generic format. Instead of looking to studio CEO's, were looking to you to help us. Show studios you stand with us!

Yes! I had a concept for something like this but I don't know how to code. I'm glad someone built this.
I had wanted this because I wanted a way to clean up my digital remains when I die. But considering how social media is (insert all sorts of descriptors), it's like living in a hoarder's house after a while.
So thankful for a fresh new story. This was great.

How beautifully done to represent some of history. Almost begs the question of “are you ready to sit at the table?” Are you ready to face the past?
It’s Thanksgiving today in the US and so many will be sitting at dinner tables, maybe with people they love, maybe with people they don’t love so much. And we all don’t realize how these moments create our own historical tapestry, and when we come together those individual tapestries for a brief moment interweave.
If your table setting stays ready, you don’t have to get ready. 🍽️🍷
The Dinner Party was created by Judy Chicago between 1974 and 1979. Each wing of the triangular table is 48 feet long. Arranged chronologically along the wings are thirteen place settings; including a unique runner and plate, as well as a chalice, napkin, and utensils.
Wing One of the table begins in prehistory with the Primordial Goddess setting and continues chronologically with the development of Judaism, to early Greek societies, to the Roman Empire, marking the decline in women’s power, signified by the Hypatia plate. Wing Two represents early Christianity through the Reformation, depicting women who signify early articulations of the fight for equal rights, from Marcella to Anna van Schurman. Wing Three begins with Anne Hutchinson and addresses the American Revolution, Suffragism, and the movement toward women’s increased individual creative expression, symbolized at last by the Georgia O’Keeffe place setting.
You can see The Dinner Party and all of its discoverable details on display on the 4th floor of the Museum.
