Get ready for Lightbox Expo

Come together Founder Bobby Chiu reveals why Lightbox Expo is set to be an art event like no other

“Now more than ever, artists are moving from one end of the entertainment industry to another,” says Bobby Chiu, one of the founders of Lightbox Expo. The event, which will take place on 6-8 September at California’s Pasadena Convention Center, aims to unite leading artists and celebrate lesser-known creators.

Boasting more than 250 guests, Lightbox Expo’s impressive and diverse lineup includes the likes of Craig Mullins, Karla Ortiz, Loish and Ian Mccaig. “They run right across the spectrum of the industry and will be the densest group of top-level artists under one roof,” says Bobby.

Attendees will be treated to portfolio reviews, panels, instructed life drawing and much more. “However, the thing I’m most looking forward to at Lightbox Expo is bringing artists from around the world together and letting them mix,” adds Bobby. “When we come together as one community, we empower each other and I believe great things will happen as a result.”

One artist tabling at the event is character designer Brittany Myers, who wanted to attend Lightbox Expo as an artist exhibitor after seeing creators post about the event online.” i’m excited to see something so fresh take off,” says Brittany. ”I can’t believe the amount of talent attending, and I can’t wait to see so many of my favourite artists. Almost any inspiring name you could possibly think of will be there and I’m excited to be attending its first run!”
