CGMA (a leader in online art education) prides itself on rolling out the latest educational resource for digital artists. This means getting the best instructors possible and providing the community with the most relevant workflows and information they can. Not only does this help their students stay ahead of the curve, but it also prepares them for an ever-changing industry, its tools, and software.

CGMA has rolled out all-new courses for its upcoming Winter Term and is now offering a new preregistration promotion that will allow anyone to register and reserve a seat in a course next term for the incredibly low price of $50 now, and pay the difference next year!
