The mission of -scope ( www.scope-art.com ) is to demystify the buying process of contemporary art. -scope accomplishes this by producing international art fairs of cutting-edge art and emerging culture. The fairs bring together up-and-coming dealers, curators and artists in a relaxed atmosphere. The exhibitions, in combination with -scope Programs (e.g., Cinema-scope, -scopeSound, panel discussions and Performance-scope) cultivate a unique forum for contemporary art and emerging culture. In this way, -scope makes itself an invaluable resource for established and burgeoning collectors as well as museums, corporate curators and the general public.
