Silicon Valley Contemporary Appoints A&O as PR Agency for Inaugural Fair What: Silicon Valley Contemporary is pleased to announce the appointment of A&O PR to oversee marketing and public relations pertaining to the fair’s inaugural launch this April 2014 in San Jose, CA. Who: Silicon Valley Contemporary is the first art fair in the heart of California's technology industry mecca, connecting select international exhibitors with this highly desirable market through innovative programming and integrated physical and virtual events. A&O is a boutique agency offering marketing, public relations and creative content services to a wide range of clients in the arts and culture.

Where: The San Jose McEnery Convention Center, 150 West San Carlos Street, San Jose, CA 95113. When: Silicon Valley Contemporary will be open April 10-13, 2014.

I create a chaotic world depicting creatures fighting for dominance and survival, a world where animals mutate and morph because of the toxicity of their environment. I hope that the elements that I explore in my paintings will invoke in the viewer a sense of hope and respect for our environment and for our world." - Jean-Pierre Arboldeda
