PETERSBURG, Fla., May 13, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Cory Allen Contemporary Art (CACA) announces they will open the doors to their new concept The Showroom, the world&#8217;s first public relations gallery, this Thursday in the Warehouse Arts District in Saint Petersburg, Florida. <\/p>\n<p> The Showroom, a concept developed by international promoter Cory Allen, is a collaboration between the mechanics of public relations and the traditional characteristics of a fine arts gallery. &#8220;This concept has been in the works for almost three years now,&#8221; said Allen. &#8220;After scouting locations across the nation, we recognized that St. Petersburg is where the first PR gallery needed to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Opening night will feature a retrospective of Post-PC Artist XVALA who&#8217;s famous for his &#8220;Fear Google&#8221; campaign and celebrity trash sculptures; created from the residential trash, collected by the artist, of celebrities and tech icons such as Kim Kardashian, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and others. The show will also showcase XVALA&#8217;s street art of the highly controversial nude selfies of Scarlett Johansson and the artist&#8217;s &#8220;Celebrity Chimp,&#8221; which was featured on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;The Tonight Show&#8221; with Jay Leno.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I support Cory&#8217;s vision,&#8221; said XVALA. &#8220;The PR gallery concept and having St. Petersburg as the location for this concept makes sense and I look forward to being a part of both.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> The evening&#8217;s show will also feature a special viewing of Celebrity Artist Daniel Edwards&#8217; &#8220;Landmark for Breastfeeding&#8221;; a life-size park bench sculpture of Angelina Jolie nude, double-breastfeeding her twins. Highly publicized by the media and the public, the sculpture sparked public breast-feeding debates worldwide and was named by TIME magazine as the &#8220;Top Breast-Feeding Controversies of All-Time.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The Warehouse Arts District here in St. Petersburg is a great place to be for the arts,&#8221; said Allen. &#8220;I look forward to being a part of it all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> The Showroom will open to the public on May 15, 2014 at 7 p.m., located in the Warehouse Arts District at 2121 2nd Ave South, St. Petersburg, FL.<\/p>\n<p> For more info, contact Cory Allen at 323-393-3115 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cacanet.com\/\">http:\/\/www.cacanet.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> Media Contact: <br \/> Cory Allen<br \/> info[at]cacanet.com<br \/> 323-393-3115<\/p>\n<p> Disclaimer: Mention of any celebrity or public figure does not imply an endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>News issued by: Cory Allen Contemporary Art<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/14-0513-caca-showroom_500x375.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Cory Allen Contemporary Art\"\/><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/14-0513-caca-showroom_500x375.jpg\" class=\"autohyperlink\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/14-0513-caca-showroom_500x375.jpg<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p> # # # <\/p>\n<p><small>Original Story ID: 2014-05-0513-007 (9412) :: World-s-First-PR-Gallery-to-Open-in-Florida-This-Week_2014-05-0513-007<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Keywords: The Showroom, first public relations gallery Cory Allen Contemporary Art St. Petersburg Florida ST.
