Art Collector Starter Kit IX (OPENING DAY)
On Saturday, January 28th, downtown Los Angeles’ Corey Helford Gallery (CHG) will proudly ring in the new year with their ninth annual Art Collector Starter Kit group show (ACSK IX), featuring affordable, new 12” x 12” works from over 75 established and emerging artists from across the globe.
On display in the Main Gallery through March 4th, ACSK IX offers a great opportunity for newer collectors and enthusiasts with limited space or budgets to purchase an original piece of art from their favorite CHG artist. Smaller, more affordable new works by the artists that everyone loves was the inciting idea behind CHG’s popular annual group show when it launched in 2013. CHG’s owner Jan Corey Helford shares, “CHG was created with the intention of making art available to collectors of all ranges, with the radical assertion that ‘art for the elite only’ is a distortion of the real purpose of art − to create something that stirs the hearts and minds of everyone and anyone who can view it.” Adding, “Every year, the artists are asked to submit works that are 12” x 12” in size and what we receive is an explosion of creativity in a multitude of mediums (including oil, acrylic, charcoal, sculpture, and installation). The result is an exciting and varied show where all in attendance are sure to find something to delight their tastes and ignite their passions.”
ACSK is back for its ninth installment and bigger than ever, featuring some of the top artists in the New Contemporary art scene, including HUSH, Hikari Shimoda, Brandi Milne, Eric Joyner, Miho Hirano, Troy Brooks, Bennett Slater, Luke Chueh, and Travis Lampe, just to name a few.
