🎨 CALLING ALL PRODUCTION DESIGNERS 🎬

We're thrilled to start the Art Within The Craft Showcase —a celebration of the visionary artists who build the worlds we escape into.

From film and theater to commercials, live events, and immersive experiences, this is your chance to step into the spotlight. Too often, production designers remain behind the scenes—this showcase flips the script. We're inviting you to share the artwork behind your craft, whether it’s sculpture, drawing, painting, video installations, or mixed media.

This is more than just an exhibition. It’s a creative intervention—a declaration that production designers are not just craftspeople, but visual auteurs, shaping narrative from the ground up. Your work deserves to be seen, celebrated, and championed.

Too often, production designers are viewed simply as technicians who bring other people’s ideas to life. This exhibition challenges that notion—celebrating you as visual storytellers, conceptual artists, and cultural architects.

Set in the heart of Los Angeles, this is a unique opportunity to show your personal artistry to the wider film and creative industries. Whether you’re an established name or a rising talent, we want your voice in the room.
