To: All SAG-AFTRA members who are currently represented by, or have previously been affiliated with, A3 Artists Agency, LLC.

Please note, A3 Artists Agency, LLC has surrendered their franchise in the Los Angeles and New York Locals as of February 12, 2024 under the AFTRA Agency Regulations Rule 12-C.

  The effect of the surrender is as follows:

  • No member of SAG-AFTRA may hereafter engage, use, or deal through this agency.
  • All SAG-AFTRA agency contracts in force between this agency and the members of SAG-AFTRA are ipso facto and without further notice terminated except that the agency may retain and collect any commissions earned under said contracts prior to the surrender of franchise.
  • Members shall not be under any obligation to pay commissions to the agent on any money earned by members after the termination of SAG-AFTRA agency contracts, even though such monies are earned by members on employment contracts in existence at the date of termination of the agency contracts.

If any member has signed a non-conforming agency agreement with this agency (i.e. an agency contract not approved by SAG-AFTRA), we strongly advise you to consult with independent legal counsel to determine your rights and obligations thereunder.
