Cheap Fast and Out of Control:
Benefiting the SCOPE Foundation
Thursday–Saturday Noon–8pm
Sunday Noon – 7pm
Cheap Fast & Out of Control: a project of the SCOPE Foundation, will open its doors March 4th – 8th in a 2000 sq ft tent connected to the SCOPE Art Fair at Lincoln Center. “Artists are always being asked to donate artwork for benefits,” explains organizer & artist, Lilah Freedland, “CF&OOC puts the money directly in the artists’ hands by giving them 70% of the sales, and rather than auctioning art, our Personal Development Auction will offer skills and education.” The 5 day event will showcase bands, films, and sell artist multiples with a price point geared for the ‘everyperson’.
“We want the Scope Foundation to be an egalitarian endeavor,” says Freedland, “Folks can come by and buy a print or a book or a record, and know that the majority of the money they spent buying an awesome artwork is going directly to the artist. Win Win.”
Also in the Scope Foundation Tent, the Personal Development Auction (PDA) opening on the 4th and closing at 5pm on the 8th, The PDA gives fairgoers the opportunity to bid on things like a personal tour of the Harvard Vision Science Lab, a Welding Lesson, or an introduction to Hydraulics. Master Screenprinters, Top Chefs, Pilots and Financial Consultants have donated time and education to auction winners. The opening bids will be low, so finding out if you really want to weld won’t break the bank.
