Inspire the Next Generation of VFX Creatives – Volunteer with VES Oregon!

Would you like to spend a couple of hours giving back to the creative community—without any extra prep?

VES Oregon, in partnership with the Portland Area Career Technical Education Consortium (PACTEC), is hosting a casual, interactive session with high school Art and Digital Media educators. This is your chance to share your journey, answer questions, and help teachers better prepare their students for careers in visual effects.

Why join?

• Make a direct impact on the next generation of VFX artists.
• No preparation needed—one of our VES Board Members will moderate the conversation.
• Optional: bring a few pieces of your work to showcase and spark inspiration!
• Think back to your own early arts education—what advice or stories from an industry professional would have shaped your career?

Thursday, July 23rd, 1–3 PM
Location: TBD

Your insights could be the spark that inspires a future visual effects artist.

Please RSVP by July 1st if you’d like to participate.
