On Saturday, January 13th, downtown Los Angeles’ Corey Helford Gallery (CHG) will proudly ring in the new year with their tenth annual Art Collector Starter Kit group show (ACSK X), 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 February 17th, ACSK X 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. The gallery continues to pursue its mission of spreading the joy and satisfaction of art appreciation and collection to the larger public.
CHG’s owner, Jan Corey Helford, says, “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 X includes new works from the likes of Adrian Cox, Bennett Slater, Brandi Milne, Camilla d’Errico, Chloe Early, Eric Joyner, Josie Morway, Luke Chueh, Martin Wittfooth, Messy Desk, and ONCH, just to name a few.
