Hollywood is synonymous with many things: as the heart of the entertainment industry, the motion picture capital of the world, the center of fame, advertising, and influencers. It is also an emblem that has long held the fascination of creatives for the past 100 years.<\/p>\n
SMAM is pleased to feature five of its exhibiting artists\u2014Brett Foraker, James Hayman, Daniel Sackheim, Tatiana Wills, and Russell Young\u2014who have each made a name for themselves within Hollywood industries and continue to explore its long lasting thematic power.<\/p>\n
