Announcing World Wide Art Los Angeles, an International, Fine Art Show
Santa Barbara, CA September September 19, 2014
After running numerous international art shows in Europe, Thomas and Despina Tunberg are
bringing their years of expertise to the greatest stage in the world, the Los Angeles Convention
Center on October 16-19, 2014. World Wide Art Los Angeles will serve as a visual montage of
influential fine art in today’s world, as it exists across the globe.
When asked how the show is being curated, Art Director Despina Tunberg states that “Art is
not bound by one medium or movement and is pursued regardless of power or profit. In this
spirit, World Wide Art Los Angeles will be inclusive of both classic and contemporary art forms,
united for the unique purpose of reflecting this moment in art.”
With the announcement of the general show arena, Thomas and Despina also announced that
the show will be used as a platform to bring awareness to different issues that are pulsing
through the heart and minds of the global population.
Show Director Thomas Tunberg states that, “Art provides an elegant voice that influences
major issues across the world. It not only reveals the identity of a culture, but functions within
the culture as the utmost medium in raising awareness over major issues and new ideas
circulating that community. Many artists today express and represent an influence on social,
cultural, political and environmental themes from the personal to the political, the private to
the public and the national to the global. We are providing dedicated spaces inside the show
hall, where visitors will have the chance to walk through and visually explore these topics.”
When asked what providing this platform means to the couple personally, Despina says, “There
are certain issues that we feel very strongly about, and we would like to take a stand, even if
we step on a few toes. We believe very strongly in legal and social equality for all, regardless
of ethnicity, race, religious beliefs and sexual orientation; civil rights, in other words.
Unfortunately, everywhere in the world, this is still a cause and not an established state of
affairs that people can afford to take for granted. As for the issue of the environment, our very
survival as a species is at stake. Some people might say, well is an art show an appropriate
venue for such statements. My answer would be how could it not be? Art is not mere
decoration, although certainly it can have that aspect, it is an expression for everything that
concerns human beings, and very often an intense one. Thomas and I embrace that aspect of
art.”
World Wide Art Los Angeles will bring a weekend of art and culture to the Greater Los Angeles
area. Providing not only thousands of pieces of work for its audience to view, it brings the
influential voice of art to the masses.
