Founded in 1995, WIA operates as a non-profit organization established with the purpose of furthering, promoting, and supporting female animators in Animation, VFX and Gaming sectors.

WIA brings together its global community to empower and advocate for people of underrepresented gender identities, inspiring excellence and justice in all facets of the creative professional landscape.

Our Montréal Collective was established in 2019, with the goal of bringing WIA’s global support and expertise to our local industry. We work with international collectives whose programs are available to our members in Montreal while adding our own touch - with local networking events, screenings, panels and scholarships.
