SCOPE ART SHOW TO BUILD MONUMENTAL PAVILION ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE ARMORY SHOW

Following the tremendous success of its Miami edition, SCOPE Art Show returns to New York City for the eleventh year, with an exciting, high-profile location across from The Armory Show. The 30,000 square foot pavilion on 57th Street and 12th Ave will host SCOPE’s flagship fair, SCOPE New York, featuring over 50 international galleries and museum-quality programming that will highlight groundbreaking, emerging work in contemporary art and beyond. SCOPE New York’s First View will take place on March 7, 2012, with proceeds benefitting New York-based non-profit, chashama.

The SCOPE pavilion will also be home to the newly launched SCOPE Foundation Series, showcasing a variety of projects, events and performances across multiple creative genres, including art, design, film and fashion. Proceeds from this series will benefit The SCOPE Foundation, creating continued opportunities for emerging artists and galleries worldwide.
