Georgia Art Exchange is promoting the Arts in Cobb and Cherokee Counties

Luxury Kitchens and Appliances agrees to sponsor the Arts in North Georgia

December 1, 2006 Georgia Arts Exchange (GAE), an art and music development cooperative, announced the addition of Luxury Kitchens and Appliances (LKA) as the Golden sponsor for 2007.

GAE’s mission is to assist artists in Georgia to connect and network with other artists, galleries and collectors. GAE promotes art events at galleries, museums and other venues in Georgia. The Co-op assists the individual artist and galleries to gain exposure and support.

“We stimulate and encourage the original expression of Georgia culture. We expose, to other Georgians, the rich and fertile landscape of artists and galleries within our own back yard.” explained Quique Lopez, spokesman for GAE. “We are very pleased to welcome Luxury Kitchens and Appliances as our 2007 Golden Sponsor. LKA is clearly demonstrating a clear commitment to the arts in Georgia.”

LKA is the premier retailer of high performance appliances and kitchen services in North Georgia. It is located on the Cobb and Cherokee county border in Woodstock, Georgia.

LKA has an upscale kitchen showroom and meeting place where consumers, builders and designers experience the ability to really get a good feel for appliances, cabinets, countertops and the other elements of their kitchen. LKA prides itself in offering superior service before and after the sale.

The showroom contains a variety of kitchen vignettes outfitted with the latest in high performing appliances. The room also contains many large granite meeting tables where plans are created, reviewed and executed.

“We are excited to be the GAE Golden Sponsor for 2007.” said Ken Lemal, president LKA  "We are absolutely delighted to be associated with GAE, a team that is dedicated to promote the finer aspects of living in North Georgia. This falls right in line with LKA’s campaign to bring awareness that people no longer need to drive far to get ‘Luxury’ services and choices”

Lemal explained that the “supporting the arts” campaign also goes to reinforce the strategy it shares with their flagship brand: Viking Appliances.  “We are huge fans of Viking’s wildly successful “theVikinglife.com” campaign. Igniting people’s passions for the better things in life is our common goal. Art is the simple progression of such a philosophy.”

TheVikinglife.com is a web portal where visitors experience exclusive opportunities to immerse themselves in the culinary world through travel, tastings, and events (Created and co-sponsored by The Culinary Institute of America ) with renowned chefs and food experts.

Currently GAE is showcasing works from world renowned artist Sergey Cherep, Jeffrey Lange and Joanne Gossman in the LKA showroom. The works of other talented artists are featured regularly in sponsored art events produced by GAE at the showroom as well as galleries throughout Georgia.
