The Art of Aqualumina: Charity Book Launch and Exhibition
June 25, 2016 - June 28, 2016
Opening Reception / Jun 25, 4:00PM - 7:00PM
The Art of Aqualumina is both a 100+ page illustration collection and a gallery exhibit, condensed from works from over 300 artists worldwide, collected over a 2-year period. Fans are invited to come and meet with the artists, attend panels, and pick up their merchandise.
Water is the common bond that unites all living things on the most atomic level—artists were invited to create works that celebrate and explore the different facades of the building-block that jump-started life as we know it. From killer mermaids to adorable juice boxes, the artworks received were absolutely stunning and creative to the core!
To commemorate two years of hard work and beautiful creations, we are featuring a selection from Aqualumina's massive collection in this year's gallery and publication.
To see a sneak-peak of all the going-ons here at Aqualumina, find us at #Aqualumina on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram!

The Book
The Aqualumina Artbook is concentrated creative goodness: Condensed to over 100 pages, formatted to professional perfection, and featuring full-size illustrations, tutorial and walk-throughs, and a treasury of concept snapshots.
The best part? This is a not-for-profit project, so all the funds raised through Kickstarter will be put into making the gallery as stunning as possible, putting out more content, and compensating the artists and participants who have worked so hard to make this project a reality. All of the artworks and merchandise featured in the packages were designed and selected with the greatest attention and care, so reserve a copy and be a part of the new wave of artists and art appreciators to reinvent art to inspire more beauty in the world!
