The International Festival of Animated Objects Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting mask & puppet related performance.

As an incubator and producer of mask, puppetry, and animated objects, we are the primary curator of local, national, and international puppetry. We strive to provide Alberta audiences with the chance to experience the breadth and diversity of these innovative art forms.

Vital to the development of puppetry as an art form, the festival not only provides a stage for Alberta creators to showcase their work but is also a forum for an international exchange of ideas providing learning opportunities for professionals and emerging artists and the public at large to find expression through animated objects.

Please note that while the International Festival of Animated Objects Society is a registered not-for-profit under the Alberta Societies Act, it is not a registered charity with Canada Revenue Agency and therefore, regrettably, donations are not eligible for tax receipts at this time.
