AOC – The Art of Creativity Awards 2017 at Soho House LA, NY, London, Berlin, and Toronto.
After last year’s first edition, the Art of Creativity Awards will return in 2017 with events in Soho House LA, NY, London, Berlin and Toronto. AOC is all about recognizing the creativity of production and post production companies for their work in commercials and music videos. Submissions are judged for their artistic merit by art, museum and cinematic curators from across the world. Throughout the month of September 2017, Soho House venues in Los Angeles, New York City, London, Berlin, and Toronto will host various screenings of winning work and discussions on creativity. AOC serves as an international platform that gets the conversation going in two parallel creative worlds by bridging the worlds of art and advertising!
