Capacity for this event has been reached:

Due to overwhelming interest in this event we are forced to limit access to a limited number of people. As much as we would like everyone to be able to attend, our venue simply doesn’t have the room to seat all who RSVP’d.

We will be randomly selecting names from everyone who RSVP’d to attend the event. Everyone who RSVP’d will receive an email Thursday afternoon informing them if they were selected or not.

We realize this may be an inconvenience for some people who have already made plans but unfortunately there is little we can do with limited space. We are looking into other venues in the future that will allow us to continue hosting free events for as many people as possible.

The Art of High Moon Studios
at The Gnomon Gallery
1015 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90038

This exhibit highlights the work of five concept artists from High Moon Studios, showcasing their artwork from the new "Transformers: War for Cybertron" video game saga, as well as their individual personal artwork.

While their production work is bound together by a childhood appreciation for Generation One of the Transformers universe, the artists' personal works are distinguished by their widely varying backgrounds and influences. Whether originating from illustration, fine art, industrial design, comic books, or animation, these artists work together as a team to design new worlds where anything is possible.
