The fifth Annual Concept Art Awards show wrapped up recently at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium during this year’s LightBox Expo. The event, run by the Concept Art Association, was created to recognise and elevate the essential artists working in the field of entertainment concept art.
The night celebrated professional, independent and student artists, and winners were awarded honours across over 20 categories. Actress Krystina Arielle (Star Wars: The High Republic Show) and artist Iain McCaig (Star Wars prequel trilogy) hosted the evening’s ceremony, while an array of renowned concept artists from the worlds of live-action, animation and video games were in attendance.
Also honoured were Omar Gomet, named the Wacom Rising Star, and Karla Ortiz, who took home both the LBX Concept Art Luminary and 9B Collective Community Impact awards. Each year, Lifetime Achievement Awards are given to eminent artists at the top of their field, and this year’s recipients were James Cameron and the late Kim Jung Gi.
