MvVO ART pre-launched its AD ART SHOW venture with an Art Talk led by a panel of Art and Advertising experts entitled, Is Advertising Home to the Next Big Name in Art? at the Southampton Arts Center.
The innovative art venture dedicated to Creating Opportunities for Artists will debut in spring 2018.
The show will exhibit artists currently working in or with roots in advertising in New York, the United States, and internationally. Artist submissions (including paintings, sculpture, photography, and mixed media) will be selected by a jury of prominent art collectors.
“So many luminaries including Warhol, Magritte, Rosenquist, Lautrec, and Rockwell – worked in advertising before becoming the acclaimed artists we revere today, and their success confirms that the advertising industry is home to tremendous creative talent, and I can’t wait to bring that talent to the spotlight at AD ART SHOW next spring in New York city,” said Maria van Vlodrop., Founder and CEO, MvVO ART. “After hearing this year’s panelists reaffirm that artists with advertising backgrounds are untapped resources in the art world, I am more confident than ever that MvVO ART can discover the next big name in art through AD ART SHOW.”
Douglas Elliman Real Estate was the presenting sponsor, and guests included Melody Newberry, TR Prescod, Brian Tymann, Ronni Shapiro, Lucy Presner, Kevin Berlin, Eleanor Kobel, Michael Daly, Isaac Aiden, Cindy Farkas Glanzock, Kyle Collins and Naomi Hargarty.
After the presentation and discussion, guests mingled in the gardens of the Southampton Arts Center and enjoyed delicious wine from Lieb Cellars, refreshing beverages courtesy of Belvoir Fruit Farms, and enticing bites provided by Buoy One. Hampton Cigar Company provided a premium giveaway package at the conclusion of the event.
