Art Unites 6 September 22, 2012

The Art Directors Guild’s Gallery 800 announces the ART UNITES 6, which will be open from September 22 through October 27, 2012. 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.

During the day, these artists are leading design 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 last March, more than 420 ADG members have shown their artwork in the ongoing exhibitions.
Representing Gallery 800 is Denis Olsen, Curator and ADG Board Member. Gallery 800’s mission is to promote the works of talented entertainment industry professionals, in an intimate venue, on a personal level. Gallery 800 hours are Thursday through Saturday 2:00 pm – 8:00 pm and Sunday 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm. For more information, please visit the Gallery 800 website at www.Gallery800.com.
