The incredible series fosters the talents of emerging artists through a North American search for the best up-and-coming names in visual arts. Each year, a handful of finalists are selected from thousands of online submissions and local gallery events to showcase their works in front of the world’s top art critics and buyers at SCOPE MIAMI BEACH the premier showcase for international emerging contemporary art.
