MOSMA<\/a>, the Museum of Stop Motion Animation would like to meet the public, cinephiles and animation fans! On display, we will have beautifully crafted puppets by local fabricator Katy Strutz and the wonderful cabin set from the locally produced, stop-motion short The Tin Woods by Nick Boxwell and Mattzilla Duron. Fabricator Suzanne Moulton and other stop-motion professionals will be present to answer any questions you may have, from miniature costuming, puppet building, to scenic and prop painting. There will also be MOSMA t-shirts and stickers for sale. Our mission is to establish a permanent museum in Portland and we’d love to tell you all about it!<\/p>\n

MOSMA, The Museum of Stop Motion Animation is a nonprofit organization that was founded
\nby Brian Capati in 2022. Capati has been working in the stop-motion industry for two decades
\nand recognized the need for a stop-motion museum in Portland, Oregon. During his time
\nworking on the Oscar award winning film, Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Pinocchio at ShadowMachine in
\nNorthwest Portland, there were two other stop-motion animated features being shot
\nsimultaneously in Portland; Henry Selick\u2019s Wendell & Wild and LAIKA\u2019s Wildwood. This was
\nhistorical, in that several stop-motion feature films were being produced in one city at the same
\ntime. Portland had already been recognized for stop-motion through the work of Will Vinton
\nStudios from 1975 to 2002. From the Academy Award winning short, Closed Mondays, to the
\nCalifornia Raisins and The PJs, Portland had begun to solidify its place on the map as the
\nepicenter of stop-motion.<\/p>\n

Over the years the stop-motion community has grown significantly in Portland and globally.
\nThough it is growing, there has never been a centralized platform of support anywhere in the
\nworld. The Museum of Stop Motion Animation will be a resource for education, preservation and
\nthe celebration of a remarkable, beloved art form. The history of stop-motion dates back to the
\nadvent of film making and special effects as the industry continues to be a significant purveyor
\nof tactile arts and technological advances. MOSMA\u2019s mission is to ensure that the history of the
\nart form and Portland\u2019s relationship to it, is recognized and understood for generations to come.<\/p>\n
