In 1997 artist Chris MacClure and his partner Marilyn Hurst opened a gallery/studio in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Within a couple of years their Golden Cactus Gallery had become the premier gallery in Los Cabos with a stable of over a dozen top painters from Mexico and other internationally collected artists. MacClure’s 40 years in the art business helped him to navigate the intricacies of operating a business in a 3rd world nation and building the gallery to become a commercially viable enterprise with a burgeoning client base from all over the world. In addition to overseeing the gallery business, running exciting Resort Show venues for his artists and painting his own works, he managed to find the time to single-handedly instigate International Artist Day on the world-wide web, which has now gained recognition and support from artists, galleries, and art lovers all over the globe. The October 25th International Artist Day Celebration honors artists for their contribution to society historically and now. MacClure knows full well the extraordinary demands that living life as an artist brings and he is passionate about helping the art and artists gain respect and recognition, devoting his time, energy and money to promote the cause.

The Canadian Art Auction is the latest brilliant brain-child of MacClure’s and this time his efforts involve promoting emerging artists and THE NEW MASTERS, those artists who have paid their dues in time, effort, talent but perhaps have not yet been discovered by the world auction house
