Deets: The Art of Elysium, a non-profit organization with a focus on healing and inspiring through art, has announced that they will honor Academy Award® nominated filmmaker Lee Daniels with the Visionary Award at the annual 2025 HEAVEN Gala. The event will take place the night before the Golden Globes on January 4, 2025, in Los Angeles.

HEAVEN is a one-night-only art installation conceived and curated by the chosen Visionary, who creates their idea of “HEAVEN on Earth” as it relates to The Art of Elysium’s four main disciplines: Fashion and Design, Music and Movement, Theatre and Film, and Visual Arts. For the 2025 HEAVEN Gala, Daniels envisions his “HEAVEN” as eternal peace.

In addition to honoring Daniels with the 2025 Visionary Award, at next year’s gala, The Art of Elysium will also honor Aly & AJ Michalka with The Spirit of Elysium Award for their ongoing work with the organization and always going above and beyond to support the charity. Each year, the award, initially created for actress Eva Mendes, is presented to individuals who volunteer with The Art of Elysium’s programs and use their voice to help further the organization's mission. 

Who You May Spot: Lee Daniels, Aly & AJ Michalka, and more TBA
