The BFDG is a flourishing, growing professional group of talented individuals who have over 530 accredited memberships of skilled Creatives and Production Designers, spanning the various branches of the Art Department in Film, Television and Commercials.
It was formed with the aim of raising the standards and profile of the Art Department and protecting the interests of its members over 70 years ago. Those core principles still apply today, and we are a thriving and evolving creative community
We offer our members a range of benefits including the opportunity to promote themselves and their work, networking events (which includes workshops, design forums and informative Q & A sessions), unique accident insurance, work availability information, industry news and the highlight of the year, our annual awards which celebrates our members’ talents.
The BFDG is an all-inclusive, non-political organisation which welcomes into its membership all qualified applicants regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, neurodiversity, or age. For full details of our diversity statement, please click here.
The application process takes place monthly, with the deadline to be considered within the next available review being the 28th of each month. After this point, your application will automatically roll over into the following period.
We are sorry to announce the news that BFDG member and award winning Supervising Art Director Alan Tomkins has passed away. He had a long and illustrious career and touched many people’s lives as a friend and colleague Alan will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by all.
