LOS ANGELES --(SPW)--
The Art Directors Guild (IATSE Local 800) Gallery 800 announces "Kinship & Family,” its third art exhibition of 2015, opening Saturday, April 25, 2015 with a hosted reception from 5 pm to 8 pm. Located in the heart of the famed NoHo Arts District, Gallery 800 showcases guild members’ personal art in a series of shows throughout the year. The public will have the opportunity to meet the artists and preview their unique artwork. The “Kinship & Family” reception will feature more than 50 original art pieces, a hosted bar, live music featuring the “Do Drop In” jazz trio and refreshments.
In the spirit of kinship and family, Gallery 800 will showcase not only artwork inspired and created by the ADG members, but also art pieces created by their talented family members as well. All art mediums are encouraged in this special exhibition, which will run through May 16, 2015.
The talented ADG artists are leading Art Department professionals, who, through a combination of observation, passion and imagination, bring the writer's words and the director's vision to life in television and film. When not working as integral creative members of the entertainment community, they contribute to the fine art scene with their personal artwork. Since Gallery 800 opened its doors in March 2009, more than 600 ADG members have shown their artwork in the ongoing exhibitions.
Representing Gallery 800 are Curator Denis Olsen and Manager Debbie Patton. Gallery 800’s mission is to promote the works of talented entertainment industry professionals, in an intimate venue, on a personal level.
