The head of community and creator marketing at Twitch, Erin Wayne says that; “Twitch is such a unique place to find and watch content, largely because our community consists of creators across many different skill sets and with incredible talent they bring to the service. This year, we’ve seen huge growth in the arts community with creatives coming here not just to share their crafts, but also to learn alongside their viewers and fellow streamers. It’s been especially inspiring to see the interest in animation gaining momentum and we’re excited to see this community grow as more passionate animators and illustrators find a home on Twitch.”
