Welcome

Welcome to the 2009 Red Stick International Animation Festival. The festival has its roots firmly planted in the creative side of the animation business and acts to provide animators, directors, students, artists, designers, writers and educators with a forum in which they can share their knowledge and skills and promote the art of animation.

The 2009 festival will be April 22-25, 2009, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Festival venues include the Shaw Center for the Arts, the Manship Theatre, the Louisiana Arts & Science Museum, and the Louisiana Old State Capital.

Hurricane Gustav and the Red Stick Festival

Hurricane Gustav was a devastating storm that left the capital city without power. LSU, our host university, was closed for a full week while trying to repair the damage, and get on with the business of educating its students. With a lot of hard work and help from around the world, we're back in business, and working to make this year's coming festival better than ever.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thanks for your understanding.
