Mike
Franco, owner and creator of
Wizard Sleeve Toys and
WST Worldwide, operates a modest
designer toy store online and dreams of one day dabbling with an
online art gallery that will help expose flourishing and
up-and-coming artists. Mike’s primary objectives are built on
strong artist collaborations and now he is looking to expand his
concepts and ideas into the art world. To him, there is nothing
better than talented artists coming together for a common goal and
helping their overall community. This time around, Mike’s focus is
on gathering a group of strong women artists, with varying artistic
backgrounds and talents, to form a travelling art exhibition.
The
first “Feminality” event will display the
works of some of the most talented female artists of their
generation. The location for the premiere event will be held at the
very established and well-known Hive Gallery in downtown Los Angeles
and will happen on Saturday, November 21st. Uber popular Tara
McPherson will be headlining and will be painting a floor-to-ceiling
mural live during the show. Elizabeth Siegel (TofuSquirrel) will be
doing live painting, as well. Georgette Pressler from Devious Body
Art will be using her incredible skills to paint live models. Amy
Botello, Aunia Kahn and Jessica Sardas will be on-hand
displaying some of their wonderful works of art during the event.
Tara Hauck, of Tara Inc.
Fine Arts Photography, will be displaying some of her amazing
photography. Rudy Fig, Natalie Shau, Molly Crabapple, Cate
Rangel, Edith Lebeau, Arabella Proffer-Vendetta, Ashleigh
Fedo, Sara Antoinette Martin, Kelly McKernan, Noir Nouar,
Elodie aka LostFish, Megan Frauenhoffer, Christen Kojnok, Ritzy
Periwinkle, Zoe Lacchei and Cassie Williams aka Kazilla will be displaying some of
their
unique works, as well.
The
show will feature and highlight various works from over 20 female artists
and we have secured some very talented artists for the show.
Each artist will ultimately be submitting 2 pieces or more for the
show so that the best combination can be selected for the space
available. As an incentive, each contributing artist will get
to keep 65% from the sale of any artwork sold during the event.
As an
added bonus, Mike was able to reserve some wall space at the gallery
for the three weeks leading up to the opening and will use this wall
to display a limited number of works as a preview to “Feminality”.
We don’t want to rush any of the contributing artists, but we would
like to exhibit a good portion of completed paintings/works at the gallery during
this time. We would need to be ready to be have this pieces hung or
displayed by November 1st. Those of you who can accommodate this
deadline should contact Mike via the email below.
Mike
is inviting all artists interested in participating to come forward
with ideas for unique and creative elements that could be added to
the event. If you would like to submit your work for consideration
in future shows or if you have questions, comments, or ideas please send them
immediately to
FeminalityArtShow@gmail.com.
