Co-chairs of the training program, Production Designers Corey Kaplan, John Iacovelli and Thomas A. Walsh, say, “This is intended to give the best and most talented aspiring designers a direct access to professional training and Guild membership. We consider this an essential service to the participants, profession and our industry.”

Each selected applicant will be mentored by working Production Designers and Art Directors and will be exposed to a wide range of workplace experiences, including production in feature films, television, commercials, reality shows, live events and theme parks. This is a national program representing the ADG’s Art Direction jurisdiction, which encompasses all 50 states. The trainees will be required to work 260 days, and pending their successful mentorship review, will be invited to join the ADG as Assistant Art Directors.
