Entertainment is a highly collaborative medium, with some roles more recognised and celebrated than others. Concept artists have had their hand in the success of films for decades and even more so with the growth of movie and video game franchises. And yet, little has been done to afford these unsung heroes their rightful spot among the award shows, articles, and interviews. Concept Art Association is an organization committed to elevating and raising the profile of concept artists, their art and their involvement in the entertainment industries. Their community - focused events include monthly drink & draws and educational panels - featuring some of the leaders of the field - along with members - only mentorship programs, networking and portfolio events. Membership also includes award show voting and an exclusive job board. At the heart of the Concept Art Association is the Concept Art Awards, an annual awards show where professional, independent, and student excellence is awarded across all facets of the entertainment art industries, along with Lifetime Achievement Awards.
