On Friday 27th from 1-5 pm many of the artists will be available for information sharing and some demonstrations .It will be a once- in- a- lifetime opportunity for art students and their teachers, as well as all art lovers to come participate and ask questions of these exceptional artists.
Friday night will be the gala opening from 5-7 pm.
Saturday 2-7pm and Sunday 12-5pm will be the 2 day Collectors Event providing an opportunity to own an original work of art from some of the best artists in their field. The works presented will be a sample of the most iconic and important works of this generation.
