White Walls at SCOPE Miami

White Walls is pleased to announce its participation in SCOPE Miami, one of the leading art fairs known for curating some of the most innovative contemporary art being made. Running from November 29–December 4, 2011, SCOPE will present the highest level of gallery shows, collector tours, film screenings, special events and performances.
White Walls will be hosting four booths at SCOPE, situated in the center of Miami’s Wynwood Gallery Arts District, featuring a MTN Colors Group show with APEX, Neon, Estria, Vogue, Blek le Rat, HUSH, Kofie and Chor Boogie, a White Walls Group show with Casey Gray, Ben Eine and Greg Gossel, and solo shows for both ABOVE and ROA. White Walls will be showing with SCOPE for the full duration of the fair as well as leading multiple projects throughout the city of Miami, bringing the work of our renowned participating artists to the streets of Miami.
APEX, Eine, Kofie, ABOVE, ROA and Chor Boogie will also be painting at the Kohn compound on 24th street, where MTN Colors is hosting projects by 20+ top shelf graffiti and street artists, making the compound home to the largest street level mural installation in the world and an Art Basel satellite event. The compound is 30,000 square feet at 219 NW 24th street and almost 10,000 sq. feet on 25th street, with a passage connecting the two streets, two bars and music performed Dec 1st through to Dec 4th.

White Walls Gallery has worked for nearly a decade to exist as the premiere destination for urban art in the Bay Area. Combined with the Shooting Gallery just next door, this 4,000 sq ft space is one of the largest galleries on the west coast. Justin Giarla founded the gallery in 2005 with a commitment to furthering the urban art movement, drawing directly from street art and graffiti culture. Named for its plain white walls, the gallery takes a backseat to the real focus: the work of our artists.

Montana Colors began in 1994 when a group of paint industry innovators started a company by doing what their successors at Montana Colors S.Lstill do: listening to their customers. What they heard was that brand after brand of spray paint lacked consistency, had become watered down, lackluster and difficult to control. Their answer? To design and create spray paint with the artists in mind. The spirit of innovation, determination and commitment to quality manifested itself in the creation of the Hardcore™ brand of decorative coatings for art, home, or industry. Montana Colors has consistently set the benchmark for all “artist” paints and boutique brands to try to match. Today Montana Colors serves a global market from their headquarters and 50,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Barcelona Spain.

Kohn Compound acts as an unparalleled street-level art complex and event space located in the heart of Wynwood’s Arts and Cafe District, the Kohn Compound hosts one of Art Basel Miami’s premier events. Josh Kohn created the Kohn Compound to act as a creative outlet for fast-rising local artists to work in tandem with world-renowned artists to feature mural and sculptural masterpieces that use large open-air walls as their artistic canvas. What would otherwise be plain white walls now offers artists a creative platform to openly express their inner inspirations as works of art for all to enjoy! The Kohn Compound’s featured artists can be viewed over 30,000 sq. ft., making the Kohn Compound the “World’s largest street level mural installation” as described in Juxtapoz magazine.
