Creative Studio Art Exhibit
adsk.chris Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 10:26AM 
The Art Exhibit is one of the main features of this year's Creative Studio event in Las Vegas. The gallery space will be showing two different collections: The 2011 AU SketchBook Gallery & a selection from the Art for Hope Japan disaster-refief anthology.
Susan, our curator, reports that all the artwork has been printed, framed, packed and is ready to make the trip to Las Vegas.
"My approach to this years collection was to show the wide range of work that can be made with all the SketchBook apps. I picked some artists that we featured last year... Those who attended AU 2010 and saw our gallery will be impressed with the personal growth and continuity. We’ve also added five new artists that stretch the limits of the apps. I know viewers will be blown away by the diversity of style and technique represented in this year's collection."
The Art Exhibit is yet another reason to attend The Creative Studio! Don't miss it.

The excitement builds. Great Post Chris.
Awesome and congrats to all the artists featured in this showcase!!!!
This event sounds absolutely unbelievable. Makes me want to go to Vegas, really!
I'm looking forward not only the chance to work with my peers, but some of the guest speakers. It's always a learning experience whenever we meet. Beyond that, the opportunity to share with the interested public always cements that new found knowledge. It's one thing to learn and use and another to teach it over. I know, coming from a straight "fine art" background, I'm barely scratching the surface. I'm coming to this table of information hungry!
Congrats to all the artists. Sounds like great exposure at a great event.
LOVE the shipment photo! You can tell each one was packed with care (plus I know Susan wouldn't have it any other way!:-) Chris, I'm really excited and grateful that I will get to see this first hand. You, Susan and Autodesk team have done a really great job and I know that this suite will exude nothing BUT creativity and inspiration. The exact sorta thing I need! Very excited--and even more grateful to discover a few new artists to follow! Thanks for all of your hardwork and major support in bringing attention to some of the best artists out there! I love it!!
The Creative Studio Art Exhibit is so exciting. It's fantastic to see a company like Autodesk embrace and support the creative arts, and with such diverse offerings! I'm really looking forward to participating.
It reaffirms the late Steve Job's personal ethos that truly great products stand at the intersection of art and technology.
I would love to come to Las Vegas, to share my work and learn from these great artists, to discover more about the properties of this application.
Congratulations to all!
I'm eager to know more about the event.
