"The AICP Show is also know as ‘America’s Reel,’ " said AICP president Matt Miller. "It presents the best work of our advertising industry to the world, so it’s appropriate to expand the make-up of the Show’s Curatorial Committee to include representation by our creative colleagues in the business."
The panel has been invited to MoMA on April 17 to review the results of the balloting on entries in 22 categories. More than 250 judges around the country participated in the voting. The Curatorial Committee is charged with confirming eligibility, appropriateness to category, and the final order of the honorees which will appear in the AICP Show.
Carol Case, who is the AICP Show’s ’99 chairwoman, will host the meeting. "With the help of the AICP Show Board of Governors and my Show Committee, I was able to invite a great group of talented people to join the Curatorial Committee," Case related. "They will ensure that the Show continues to reflect the high quality of the work in our business."
