The debut of the AAF in LA will take place on the Event Deck at L.A. Live (right where Pulse was held this past September) and will be held at the same time as The LA Art Show which will be on view right next door at the LA Convention Center.

More details and sneak peeks will be released soon.

We’re excited to be issuing our first canvas print with Toronto, Ontario based artist Jacub Gagnon. His piece entitled ‘Best Laid Plans‘ from this past April’s ‘Elements and Oddities‘ show at Thinkspace is the work we’ve chosen due to the great reaction it received. The print is the same size as the original painting by Gagnon – 14×11 inches (36×28 cm) – and is wrapped on a 1.5 inch stretcher bar so the finished piece really resembles the original in a big way.

Jacub Gagnon

Thank you to everyone that came through this past weekend and showed support for Yosuke, Jacub, and MacDowell. There was a special energy in the air as the two shows fed off one another beautifully throughout the evening and judging by the amount of positive words being bestowed upon this months featured artists, we’d have to say all that came through were really enjoying both exhibits. Several artists both local and international also swung through to check out the show and say hi to the exhibiting artists. To cap things off, the evening also saw the 2nd successful marriage proposal at Thinkspace go down in front of Yosuke Ueno’s ‘Unity’ piece. Just magical to witness and had the whole place cheering!
