Director Ron Howard and American film producer Brian Grazer recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter (THR) regarding details about their new 28,000-square-foot offices in Beverly Hills and the article mentions CalArtian students’ art featured throughout the building’s common spaces. Imagine Entertainment teamed up with the CalArts School of Art in an innovative partnership to display students’ work in their new offices.
CalArts School of Art dean Thomas Lawson is quoted in The Hollywood Reporter about the collaboration.
Imagine called us and asked if we’d be interested, says School of Art dean Thomas Lawson, who put out a call among graduate and upper-level undergrads for submissions. Around two dozen were chosen to participate. “It’s really exciting for the students to have an opportunity to show their work to a group of really high-performing professionals.
