‘Get Rich Quick’ opens at Carmichael Gallery…

The Carmichael Gallery just opened ‘Get Rich Quick’ – an all-star group show of after market works from the collections of the gallery’s patrons including: Adam Neate, Antony Micallef, Banksy, Barry McGee, Bast, D*Face, Dalek, David Choe, David Choong Lee, Faile, Herbert Baglione, Ian Francis, KAWS, Nick Walker, Paul Insect, Shepard Fairey, Sixeart, Skullphone, Space Invader, Swoon, Will Barras and many more. The buzz on this one was large, and the gallery was packed throughout the evening. Made the trek out to the gallery with Allison Sommers and Joao Ruas in tow…
