About the Exhibition

Currently raging on the internet, "Steampunk" is quickly becoming one of the most unique & powerful new styles-

now influencing the disciplines of Art, Design, Architecture, Fashion & Technology. Steampunk has recently been featured

in the Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, the Discovery Channel, NPR Radio, CNN and 'NBC Tech News'.

The elite group of International Artists featured in this first public collaboration are the original "Steampunk" innovators

whom are currently capturing the attention of influential private patrons & collectors of the arts.

This exhibition, curated by Art Donovan, is a comprehensive review of their work from The Netherlands, France, Japan and the U.S.

This promises to be the first definitive, visual statement of this new genre.

The works to be displayed are a combination of both exhibition pieces and works for sale for the first and ONLY time,

with many pieces created exclusively for this showing. The Exhibition Catalog features a 'Forward' by the

renowned local Architect, Author & Editor, Anne Surchin, A.I.A.

We truly look forward to see you at the event opening on August 16.
