Is Animation Art?

Animators have always struggled with the debate of how such a commercial medium can be made just for Art's sake. It has been stated that Animation was not necessarily "not" Art but could never be "Fine" Art. How does one create an Animation that does not serve as utility or common practice, that engages the audience's sensibilities and makes the viewer think about greater things? In hopes of establishing our argument, this show couples pieces that are abstract, conceptual and poetic with that which are commercial, concrete and narrative.

We hope you enjoy them. We hope it is Art.
