Congrats to all the hard work by the teams behind the scenes. Especially co-founders Jim Deomakos (l) and Bobby Chiu (r), along with and Lightbox Advisory Council of top artists.
This Post#1 of 5 is where I post You Tube videos with walk-through tours of the Expo and commentary. I've chosen these as a mix of artist/exhibitor/panelists as well as attendees who came from out of the area.
