Onteca with the support of the Capital of Culture have run a number of animation workshops in collaboration with the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside (NMGM). NMGM currently have an exhibition called ‘Animated Adventures’, this exhibition gives visitors the opportunity to see original models and sets from feature animations including ‘Wallace and Gromit, The Curse of the Were-rabbit’

Onteca have run 12 day long workshops with visitors to this exhibition. Children and their parents have been able to produce their own short animations by working with experienced professional animators. The response of participants has been enthusiastic with every participant spending at least an hour producing their own piece of animation.

All the films made by participants in the workshops and further information are available on the website The Community Animation Project
