Patrick Stewart, now working on his return to the Star Trek universe with the CBS All Access series Star Trek: Picard, will receive the Distinguished Artisan Award at the seventh annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards. The honor will be bestowed during the awards ceremony January 11 at The Novo in L.A. LIVE.

The Distinguished Artisan Award is given annually to those whose body of work in the film and TV industry was richly enhanced by the consistent collaboration of make-up and hair styling artistry.

He is so deserving of this special recognition spotlighting his award-winning stage and screen performances, and we celebrate his great collaboration with our talented artists,” said Julie Socash, president of IATSE Local 706.
