Los Angeles, CA — September 28, 2009 – Tornado Design will host an exclusive one-night art show
called Enlighten! One Night of Light at the Helms Bakery Building in Culver City from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m
on Saturday, November 21st. Enlighten! is an innovative group exhibition of table lamps featuring printed
shades with artwork by an eclectic roster of over 85 fine artists and illustrators working together to
support arts education for children in Los Angeles. Each artist’s lamp design will be sold in a limited
edition available for one night only. The lamps can be previewed and pre-ordered on the website at
www.enlightenshow.com. The event is free.

Al Quattrocchi and Jeff Smith, co-owners and creative directors of the Los Angeles-based graphic design
studio Tornado Design, curated the exhibition. “Enlighten! is a fun and unique way to bring our artistic
community together. This event will raise some money to help support Inner-City Arts, an organization
planting the seeds of creativity in young artists of the future.” says Quattrocchi. “Whether you are a
participating artist or a patron of the arts, supporting events like Enlighten! will make a difference for
many underprivileged kids!”

A portion of all sales will benefit Inner-City Arts, an organization offering opportunities for at-risk
children from Los Angeles schools to build artistic self-expression, enhancing their ability to perform
both creatively and academically in challenging environments. The lamps are produced by Lamp-In-ABox
in Culver City, California. Owner Daniel Cytrynowicz believes, “A table or desk lamp should reflect
our personal taste, desires and lifestyle, similar to all the other accessories that surround us.”
Participating artists include Lou Beach, Alex Beard, Sandow Birk, Calef Brown, Dave Burke, Jimmy C,
Sarajo Frieden, Tom Fritz, Makoto Kobayashi, Lili Lakich, Joel Nakamura, Saelee Oh, Martha Rich, Paul
Rogers, Souther Salazar, Bwana Spoons, James Victore, Keith Weesner and dozens more. Music will be
