2019 CGMA Summer Student Showcase

The 2019 Summer Student Gallery is now available for viewing!

The 2019 Summer Student Gallery is now available for viewing! In the visually-focused field of Entertainment Design, it’s only natural that the most effective way to communicate is with pictures rather than words. That holds equally true at CGMA, where the true value of their range of intensive courses is best conveyed through the stunning work produced by their students.

What follows is just a glimpse of recent student work. We encourage you to see all the highlights from the Summer Showcase here. It’s an inspiring collection that pays testament both to the talent of those featured and to the guidance provided by CGMA’s dedicated mentors. Registration is already open for the Winter term, with individual payment plans available for each course. If you have any questions regarding registration or portfolio review requests, please contact the CGMA Admissions department here: registration@cgmasteracademy.com or call by phone at (818) – 561 – 9542.
