Acme/Dark Ink Announces Art Events for April 26th - ALIEN DAY!
Acme Archives is teaming up with Fox Consumer Products to launch three new art events taking place on 4/26 ALIEN DAY
Twentieth Century FOX Consumer Products has announced an out-of-this-world global celebration of the ALIEN franchise culminating with a special 24 hour, fan-focused social media event on April 26th – a nod to LV-426, the planet from the iconic ALIEN films. ALIEN DAY (#AlienDay426) will encompass a wide range of executions including nationwide screenings, never-before-seen consumer product activations and the kickoff of the ALIEN: Ultimate Trivia Challenge, allowing fans to test their ALIEN knowledge – with the chance to win memorable prizes every 42.6 minutes on Twitter. Please register for the contest at ALIEN Anthology (http://AlienAnthology.com) and refer to “Official Rules” for additional details.
– In partnership with Acme Archives, Bottleneck Gallery in New York will be celebrating with an exclusive Alien print from artist Laurent Durieux which will be available at a special screening of Alien taking place at Syndicated BK. A metal variant of Laurent Durieux’s Alien print will also be auctioned off to support a local animal rescue and adoption organization.
– Galerie F, a Chicago based art gallery, in collaboration with Acme Archives will host a large show of originals and prints in the heart of Chicago’s thriving arts district; Logan Square.
– The Acme team will be in Burbank at a pop-up event hosted by the collectibles gallery, Blast From the Past. There will be new releases by a number of Acme’s artists as well as a preview of new sculptures from Sideshow Collectibles.
The ALIEN film series starring Sigourney Weaver (Ellen Ripley) and directed by legendary auteurs Ridley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, is one of the most enduring horror sci-fi action franchises of all time. Winning multiple Academy Awards®, these incredible films have spawned countless consumer product lines and launches — from apparel to video games to comic books and more.
The highly-anticipated ALIEN: COVENANT, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Michael Fassbender, will be released in August 2017 by Twentieth Century Fox.
