The Artist Collective Art Walk

Attendees to The Artist Collective will have the added bonus of using Artmatcher Art Tags to learn more about the art. Art Tags are small stickers or cards that hang next to artworks in galleries, museums, studios, or streets. Attendees can tap their phones on the tags to learn about that piece, watch videos, connect with the artists, and share and interact with the broader art community.

They will help emerging artists launch their creative careers and place their works around the Greater Los Angeles area, in addition to brokering and advisory services to collectors.
