The Jamaica Animation Nation Network (JANN) is a membership-based organisation run by volunteer members. We are the national industry association dedicated to the development, representation, and protection of Jamaica’s animation sector. As the leading voice for animation in Jamaica, JANN works to strengthen the ecosystem by advocating for the interests of animators, studios, educators, and other creative professionals who contribute to the industry.

There is no funding specifically for animation. However, that doesn't mean there aren't ways to find funding. Just requires some clever proposal writing.
No we don't fund projects. We are a voluntary run organization and hence we run on a very lean budget. We however share funding opportunities from third party entities.
Yes! Depending on the workshop, it may be free for members. But if you are a subscriber, there will be a fee for the workshop.
