SATURDAY, APRIL 26th
4-8 PM
PORTLAND, OREGON
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, network, and potentially take a few frames of animation!
Join us as we explore ideas, materials, discuss and focus on all things stop-motion animation.

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.
