Brief Description:
This event featured paintings, drawings, sculptures, and graphic painted art from over 100 artists from across North America. Most of the artists in the show were from Southern California, and each artist showcased up to 4 of their favorite pieces from the past few years of their work. I enjoyed this event because there was a hosted bar, free art magazines, a photo backdrop with a photographer on-hand, and there were lots of fun creative people all in one place admiring these awesome pieces of art.

Two of my favorite pieces (by the artist: Kelli Murray):
