“While I have operated Helicline Fine Art since 2008, my lifelong professional passion has been running a Times Square communications firm,” says Helicline co-founder and proprietor Keith Sherman in a statement. “From the first days of my career, I’ve worked in theatre, film, TV, music, dance, and major cultural events. Some of the artists in this exhibition were friends—and even clients. These works are deeply meaningful to me, and I believe they will resonate powerfully with anyone who loves entertainment and the arts.”
