New Curator for OCMA

Yeah I know, I'm a little late on this one but OCMA has found a replacement for Elizabeth Armstrong. Sarah Bancroft comes to us from The Gugg in NYC.

The curious part is how long she can stick under Dennis Szakacs? Current Vegas over/under line is 18 months...

The Gap + Art = $$

When all is fails bring in the artists. You know Gap, RVCA's been pimping artists for a while now with great success.

Attn: Photographers

The fine folks over at OMC Gallery have recently announced their latest project titled The Good Photo. It looks like a great opportunity for photographers to get their work out there to a larger audience and hopefully generate some sales. Take a look and submit some work. There will also be a live event on June 7th.
