Cool Art: Gallery1988 presents 'Star Wars: Art Awakens' Art Exhibit

Gallery1988 presents 'Art Awakens', one of the most anticipated pop culture art shows of all-time will take place November 14-15 at Gallery1988 (West) in Los Angeles.

The weekend long exhibit features 'Star Wars' inspired art from top professional and emerging artists, including five winners of the Art Awakens Fan Art Competition, chosen by a judging committee that includes members from Disney, Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic, who will also have their art included in the gallery exhibit. The winners will also be flown out to Los Angeles to attend a VIP opening reception.

Original artwork form the exhibit will be auctioned off in the name of Star Wars: Force for Change to benefit UNICEF Kid Power through eBay's Giving Works, from November 13-23, along with select prints for sale from November 13 until December 12.

7 screenprints will be available exclusively in-store during the gallery event.

The exhibit is on November 14-15 at Gallery1988 (West), 7308 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90046, and will be open from 11am until 10pm on both days.
