On every last Saturday of each month in 2025, we invite the public and individuals interested in stop-motion and the animation process to attend our Animation Jams. Each month a different professional animator will be on site at MOSMA HQ working on a short piece of animation and we want to invite you to meet the animators, other stop-motion industry professionals, ask questions and network.
Join us as we explore ideas, materials, discuss and focus on all things stop-motion animation.

Mark those calendars friends! The special exhibition ANIMATION: Script to Screen co-curated by MOSMA and Schuster Media opens to the public June 20-22nd 2025.
This will be the first time multiple stop-motion studios and artists have collaborated on one exhibition. This show will be exemplary of MOSMA’s mission to elevate and unify the stop-motion industry by presenting the community and the film production process of the art form to the general public.
We’re building a home for stop motion.
Welcome to the Museum of Stop Motion Animation,
a place of education and wonder.
We dream of a space that connects the history of stop motion to its role in today’s film industry.
Make this dream a reality.
With your support, we will honor stop motion’s history through exhibition and education.
