Additional notes: Max the Mutt was founded by artists and animators in 1996. Their goal is, and always has been, to create and maintain a vibrant, ethical community dedicated to passing on skills to upcoming generations, while fostering a sense of community. MTM believes in taking their work seriously and encouraging students to keep their joy in creating alive. They believe in an inclusive environment where every student matters. Humility and mutual respect are the first requirements for growth, for a happy, creative, productive college, and a meaningful career. MTM seeks students and faculty who share this vision. MTM has always cared about being as affordable as possible without compromising the quality of instruction. They offer limited bursaries and scholarships to qualified students (i.e. those who have financial need, talent, and a professional attitude). Instructors are working professionals, drawn to Max the Mutt by their passion to share their expertise, by the prospect of small classes, motivated students, and an environment that values their input. Annual curriculum reviews and updates reflect changes in the entertainment industries MTM serves, and instructors, because they are working professionals, are an invaluable part of this process. MTM is now in the wonderful position of having a number of faculty members who were graduates of MTM, became successful professionals and are now happy to return to share their skills with upcoming generations.
