Our final meetup of 2025 turned into a night of surprises, Korean cuisine, and creative energy! Read how the AVG Guild wrapped up the year with games, laughter, and plans for 2026.

Our October Miami Animation Meetup brewed up creative energy with 3D printing demos, card and board game design sessions, and inspiring conversations among artists, animators, and game developers. From Bilal Khan’s 3D-printed AVG magnets to Isai Oveido’s pixel art card games, the night was filled with treats, teamwork, and a touch of Halloween magic.

In animation, gaming, and VFX, who you know can be just as important as what you create. Building community through networking helps artists grow, find collaborators, and stay inspired in an ever-evolving industry.
