Wendt Gallery to participate in the 15th annual US Artists show - at the 33rd Street Armory in Philadelphia.

LAGUNA BEACH – This coming October, over 50 of the nation’s leading Fine Art galleries will head to historic Philadelphia for the premier American art exposition in the country: USArtists: American Fine Art Show, slotted for October 20-22, 2006, at the 33rd Street Armory. Wendt Gallery of Laguna Beach, Calif., is packing up over 60 paintings and making the longest trip of any of the presenting galleries — more than 2,700 miles—to participate in USArtists’ 15th anniversary show and sale. The three-day event and October 19 Preview Gala promise to attract some 6,000 visitors from 24 states and international destinations. USArtists benefits the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and is sponsored by Pitcairn Financial Group.

We view the far-reaching appeal of this art show as a testament to our commitment to outstanding art.”

“We are honored to exhibit at USArtists alongside the most prestigious galleries in the country,” said Wendt Gallery Owner Joseph Manqueros. “USArtists presents an unmatched collection of fine art, year after year, and we very much look forward to contributing.”
