Gallery Nucleus Presents
IT’S A SMALL WORLD
September 17, 2011 – October 3, 2011
Opening Reception: Saturday September 17, 2011 (7 pm – 10 pm)

Alhambra, CA–Gallery Nucleus, Joey Chou and Disney Press are delighted to present “It’s A Small World”, a group exhibition featuring an impressive collection of works created by 45 artists paying homage to this iconic Disney Park attraction, just in time to honor its 45th anniversary.

This exhibit celebrates both the release of artist/illustrator Joey Chou’s latest children’s book by Disney Press, as well as the enduring theme of world peace and international unity that the original Sherman Brothers song and beloved Disney Park boat ride have embraced for almost half a century.

The book features the lyrics of “It’s A Small World (after all)”, accompanied by Chou’s vibrant illustrations that give a modern and playful spin to this 45 year old classic while staying true to its original message. Joey Chou will be present on opening night, along with several of the exhibiting artists, for a meet-and-greet/book signing.

Opening Night Highlights:

• Raffle prizes, including a signed copy of Joey’s book.
• Exhibiting artists in attendance.
