By the way, do we need tickets to get into the opening or is this open to the public?

I'm pretty sure the opening is open to the artists only. It's possible you might get an invitation if you became a museum member... I'm sure someone will be there besides the artists! Christina Conway (2winks) would know.

This is Christina Conway, the curator for the Custom Kokeshi section of KOKESHI: From Folk Art to Art Toy. I want to send a personal apology that there is no public reception with the artists, I will miss seeing and feeling the excitement that comes with "opening night".
There is however an Official "Unofficial" Kokeshi After Party by Poketo on July 10 from 8pm to 1am at Royal/T: 8910 Washington Blvd. Culver City, CA 90232 Free, RSVP at rsvp@poketo.com July 10th Poketo throws a Karaoke Dance Party at Royal/T. Bring your best moves to the dance floor. Or test your pipes by singing your favorite tunes and become the very first Poketo Karaoke Idol! Riches and fame, not guaranteed. But prizes will be plentiful for participants.Poketo pop-up Shop open all night. The Royal/T cafe and bar serving beer, wine, and Poketo’s Japanese street food inspired menu will be open throughout the evening. Come early for Happy Hour drinks from 8 - 10 PM. Raina Lee, karaoke aficionado and author of Hit Me With Your Best Shot: The Ultimate Guide to Karaoke Domination will be making this party legit with book signings and a new Poketo tee shirt. Poketo will also release a new collection of wallets by top Japanese designers, Devil Robots, The Wonderful! Design Works, and Motomaho.

All the kokeshis are available here for those who didn't get a chance to go to the show. There are some really great ones still available, and most of them are really inexpensive.

This show is so strong, as a whole, not just the custom aspect of it, but the whole Kokeshi exhibit is really nicely done. The customs are just killer. Couldn't stop myself from picking up Travis'. Be sure to check this out before it comes down on October 4th.

There is still opportunity to get a unique, inexpensive three-dimensional piece of art from the likes of Allison Sommers, Julie West, Kelly Vivanco (who painted a matching pair), Krista Huot, Noferin and Tessar. Make sure to check it out soon... they're going fast.
