Have you ever had a room or space for a million different ideas that immediately came to mind? Here at the Disneyland Resort, we’ve actually found that place, and I’m excited to be able to share with all of you that WonderGround Gallery is coming to the Downtown Disney District on June 9, 2012. Distinctive, eclectic and uncommon, this contemporary setting is, in itself, a blank canvas, providing the ultimate venue where unique art collections, works from a new generation of artists, and unexpected finds in home and lifestyle merchandise take center stage.
With its name giving a nod to the magic and wonder of Disney animation, WonderGround Gallery draws inspiration from Disney’s deeply rooted art and storytelling-driven heritage – especially the idea of stepping through the looking glass, which the greatest of art allows us to do. Showcasing artwork inspired by Disney●Pixar films, characters and icons, as well as paying tribute to the one and only Mickey Mouse, more than 25 local and domestic up-and-coming artists will have their unique interpretations available for you to add to your Disney collection. This variety of commissioned, original and limited-edition artwork reflecting various styles, techniques and mediums will provide an eclectic environment in this store.
I had the chance to briefly chat with Sonia Martins, Exhibit and Events Manager for this new location. “What I love about WonderGround is that it acts as a living, breathing environment for the arts,” says Sonia. “This gallery reaches a fresh and diverse audience by offering distinct art and lifestyle wares uniquely targeted to a savvy art crowd, as well as trendy Disney enthusiasts, both intrinsically connected to our growing technological society. When you blend technology with art, a new and innovative experience awaits. We are so excited to bring this vibrant energy to the Downtown Disney District.”

Don't know how I feel about this. It's like when Disney put out their Vinylnation series in the middle of the Dunny/Munny rush.

This makes me wonder if Eric Tan will have his TLK showing here. I think I'll hit him up again.

Thanks for sharing this you TWO.

Funny you mention that. The first thing out of my wife's mouth about this was "Of course they are. I'm sure they'll flood it like crazy like they did with their Vinylmation."

Disney isn't exactly synonymous with Cutting Edge anymore

Sorry I didn't notice the other OP. Gave you credit for it though

They really overdid it with the Vinylmations. I have a few and mostly just like the old school retro ones.

I'm interested in seeing how they handle this gallery. I can already tell I'll want the Perillo. Some guys like him, Shag, and Whalen just nail Disney stuff.
