Established to offer active support to the local creative industry particularly in the field of animation, the Guyana Animation Network (GAN), launched on Saturday, brings local animators one step closer to being part of the multi-billion-dollar global animation industry.
The brainchild of 20-year-old Jubilante Cutting, GAN joins animation companies in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Suriname as part of an emerging animation sector in the Caribbean.
A not-for-profit start-up corporation, GAN seeks to actively support the animation, information and communications technology (ITCs) sector, new media and creative industries through networking, training, capacity building, advocacy, business and educational opportunities at the local, regional and international levels.
