ACROSS TIME
An Animation Exhibit

Journey through the evolving landscape of Philippine animation in Across Time, an exhibition celebrating the artists, stories, and creative innovations that have shaped the industry across generations.

Bringing together works from pioneering animation professionals alongside contemporary industry artists, Across Time offers a unique look at how animation has transformed through the years
The exhibition showcases original artwork, concept designs, production materials, illustrations, and personal works from animators whose contributions have helped define the past, present, and future of the medium.

Whether you are an animation enthusiast, aspiring artist, industry professional, or simply curious about the craft behind animated worlds, Across Time invites you to discover the rich history and ongoing development of animation through the eyes of those who create it.

Exhibition Dates: June 29 – December 3

Join us as we celebrate the artists who came before, the creators shaping the present, and the visionaries leading animation into the future.
