Make The Vader Project the
Most Influential Event!

Curated and produced by Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys (www.dketoys.com),
The Vader Project features 100 of the best underground artists and designers working today.

For this unique project, each artist customized a 1:1 scale authentic prop replica of the actual Darth Vader helmet featured in the STAR WARS™ films.

Since its premiere in 2007, The Vader Project has toured the world. The collection launched in May 2007 at the Star Wars Celebration IV event in Los Angeles, and travelled internationally to Europe in July 2007 and Japan in July 2008. The Vader Project was on display from February 13 - May 3, 2009 at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In June 2010 the exhibit showed for 10 days in Los Angeles before it went up for auction at Freeman's Auction House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
