SONY PICTURES

MEDIA ARTS PROGRAM

The Sony Pictures Media Arts Program (SPMAP) is a free after-school animation program offered through a partnership between the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, the CalArts Community Arts Partnership, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and the Los Angeles Public Library. 

This class explores topics such as the principles of animation, animation history, comics, storyboarding, story development, character design, world building, stop motion, video creation, and much more! SPMAP is open for students ages 11-17.  All supplies are provided and no previous experience is required. 


 

Enrollment is open at two SPMAP locations for Spring 2024! If neither of those options work for you, please join our wait list to be the first to learn when full program registration opens up this summer for the 2024-25 school year.

Here's all the info you need to know about our sites, the class timeline, and the registration process.
