Throughout history, art has undergone numerous changes driven by the invention of new artistic movements and the adoption of technologies. One significant milestone that’s revolutionized how we engage with artworks online is the emergence of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), impacting not only  the technological sphere but also the artistic landscape.

Street art aficionados know that Freeman Alley is the premier spot on the LES for checking out contemporary street art as it is happening.

Come take a peek inside.

The WorleyGig has gone bi-costal! The Summer Edition of the 25th Annual LA Art Show at the Los Angeles Convention Center  has returned as one of the first major art events in Southern California since the pandemic started in 2020. I attended the VIP preview on July 29th to catch a glimpse of what’s on view for West Coast readers of The ‘Gig.

The show features an eclectic mix of art, including favorites such as Damien Hirst, massive installations such as The Grind  by G Bauerbach (pictured below) and the hottest commodity in the art world, the ubiquitous NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens).
