The Nickelodeon Artist Program has been around since 2011. It is a talent incubator that offers a rigorous curriculum of creative projects, professional network building and one-on-one mentoring. Artists will also have an immersive experience working on pre-production for our animated shows and the opportunity to gain exclusive access to directors, supervisors, and lead artists on our productions.
The goal is to get the artists production-ready by the end of the Program.
