Ever wonder who today's foremost creative types consider their favorite artists? Now you have a chance to find out -- Big City Forum and writer Jeremy Rosenberg are collaborating to produce the first-ever X Ten Biennial, an event that will feature ten artists presenting a list of their ten favorite artists of all time.
The event is slated to take place on October 12 form 7-9 p.m. at the Los Angeles showroom of ARTBOOK @ Paper Chase. Presenting artists include Barbara Bestor, Tierney Gearon, Holly Myers and Yosi Sergant.
"X Ten Biennial provides a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the culture makers of our time, to understand what motivates them, inspires and drives them to impact the world around them," said Big City Forum's founder, Leonardo Bravo, in a statement.
RSVPs are required, at bravoarts@gmail.com or via the Big City Forum Facebook page.
