Art Directors Club Hall of Fame

The Art Directors Club Hall of Fame was established in 1971, by the Art Directors Club of New York, a professional organization in the design and creative industries. The Art Directors Club selects its honorees from those "who have made significant contributions to art direction and visual communications, and whose lifetime achievements represent the highest standards of creative excellence." [1]

In addition to designers usually notable within the communities of design and advertising, the honorees include more popular artists who have had an impact on the broader field of visual culture, including, for example, Issey Miyake, Jim Henson and Andy Warhol.

On its website,[1] the Art Directors Club maintains a biography of each of the Hall of Fame honorees.

In a video shown at the 2010 Hall of Fame gala, George Lois speaks a little bit about the award and its history.[2] In the video, Lois calls the Hall of Fame honors "the Oscars of the advertising business."[2]
