Art Directors Club
Summary
The Art Directors Club is a global not-for-profit membership-based association of advertising art directors, graphic designers and new media prefoessionals headquartered in New York City. ADC Members share the vision of our founder, Louis Pedlar, who brought his colleagues in advertising together in 1920 to dignify their profession and judge advertising art by the same stringent standards as fine art. For 89 years ADC members have taken up Pedlar's challenge by funding programs to Connect, Provoke and Elevate creative professionals around the world. Each year the ADC brings together juries of leading industry professionals to preside over the Art Directors Club Annual Awards and ADC Young Guns competitions, connect industry professionals to college graduates with the National Student Portfolio Reviews and Saturday Career Workshops, and celebrate the achievements of the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame inductees and Art Directors Club Grand Masters recipients.The ADC Annual Awards competition, first competition started in 1920 recognizes the best work of the year in print and broadcast advertising, interactive media, graphic design, publication design, packaging, photography and.
