The Art Directors Guild (ADG, IATSE Local 800) announces that a portion of all proceeds from the 29th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards will be donated to disaster relief efforts benefiting behind-the-camera workers in the entertainment industry impacted by the recent California wildfires.
“Our membership and filmmaking community have been impacted by these devastating fires, and it’s heartening to see our industry come together,” said Dina Lipton, President of Local 800. “Please join us in supporting, uplifting, and rebuilding.”
ADG Show Producers Michael Allen Glover and Megan Elizabeth Bell added, “We are very excited to celebrate all the amazing work of this past year, and even prouder to be able to ensure that this year’s Awards serve as a fundraising effort to benefit our fellow members and our greater entertainment community who have been tragically affected by the recent wildfire disaster.”
The ADG is committed to supporting its community through direct contributions. A QR code will be available on-site and via the Livestream broadcast for attendees and viewers to donate, with all proceeds benefiting the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Walsh Di Tolla Spivak Foundation. For those who would like to contribute, donations can also be made here.
Additionally, the evening will feature an on-site silent auction supporting the Motion Picture & Television Fund, giving guests the opportunity to bid on exclusive items while contributing to relief efforts. The awards show aims to raise awareness across multiple channels, ensuring assistance reaches those in need.
