My Mission

Spencer Garland is an interdisciplinary artist and educator operating in Portland, OR. His work encompasses animation, video games, and films. Garland has been featured at the Portland Art Museum, BlackStar Film Festival, with upcoming collaborations with the Smithsonian and Xbox. He aims to tell Black stories that have never been told through animation while showing the process of making the project in real-time with his students. Their feedback and questions drive his own personal curiosity.
