A tradition continues as The Animation Guild presents online and in-person holiday markets showcasing the talents of its Union members. Both markets will offer unique gifts that have been hand-crafted by animation pros behind popular TV shows and movies. Shoppers will find tufted rugs, unique jewelry, woodwork, stickers, clothing, plush toys, art, and more. This is a great way to “shop local” and support artists.

The Animation Guild, 1105 N. Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA 91505
