THE AICP SHOW
The Art & Technique of the American Television Commercial
On June 14, 2005, the AICP Show, The Art & Technique
of the American Television Commercial, will commemorate
its fourteenth year with a triumphal return to the place
it all started—The Museum of Modern Art in New York
City. MoMA is the home of our heart and while we are very
grateful to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art
for hosting our debut the past four years, we are looking
forward to being back at the expanded, newly reconceived
and always sublime venue for the world’s leading collection
of modern and contemporary art. The debut of the Show, a
one-hour compendium of outstanding commercials selected
for excellence and achievement in various craft categories,
is an unequaled celebration of the creative value of commercial
filmmaking, and is a dynamic presentation of art in the
service of commerce. The connection between art and advertising
is not new. Since its inception, the Show has been produced
in partnership with MoMA, and as before, the work that will
be honored by inclusion in the Show is given further tribute
by becoming part of the permanent film collection of MoMA's
Department of Film and Media. This mark of distinction is
eagerly sought and highly coveted by the advertising and
filmmaking creative communities.
The opening of the AICP Show is a gala black-tie event,
featuring screenings of the commercial reel, followed by
a cocktail reception and buffet dinner. Annually attended
by over 1,700 cognoscenti in the art, advertising and production
communities, the Show is usually "sold out" within
a week when tickets become available.
Lecture Series
The opening of the Show is always accompanied by a morning
program. The Lecture Series is a showcase for individuals
driving the state of the art. Traditionally, renowned commercial
and feature directors present their work, exploring the
creative process and the career path that led to their status
in the industry. The immense popularity of this event was
impetus to expand the Lecture Series to include agency luminaries
and visionary business leaders who have contributed to the
advancement of marketing and advertising, and whose outlooks
impart a greater understanding of the future of visual communications.

Show on Tour
Following the opening gala, the Show reel is included in
the regular film schedule presented at MoMA and becomes
part of the museum's permanent film archives, preserved
for future generations. In addition, the Show goes on tour,
mounting screenings at distinguished museums and cultural
institutions in major cities within the United States and
other parts of the world. These exhibitions and accompanying
industry celebrations reach over fifteen thousand of the
world's creative leaders.
Past venues have included: Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta,
the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), SFMoMA in
San Francisco, The Chicago Historical Society, Dallas Museum
of Art, the Honolulu Academy of Art, The Institute of Art
in Minneapolis, and the New Orleans Media Experience.
Internationally, the Show has appeared in Tokyo, Sydney,
Barcelona, Hong Kong, Prague, and Moscow, and through the
auspices of the Young Cinema Foundation at the arts academies
and advertising festivals in cities throughout Poland.
