Civil Art and Christie’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) welcome their audiences to witness cultural exchange through arts at the center of the world, New York City. To emphasize the idea of inclusivity, this year’s collaboration with Christie’s CSR will take upon the theme of Marketplace.
Historically, marketplaces were cities’ epicenters, where individuals of various classes, religions, and nationalities came together and exchanged cultural goods. With commerce, beliefs and ideas cross-pollinated, and civilizations that fostered trade became history’s most prominent landmark.
Civil Art and Christie’s invite artists, scholars, and creatives to showcase the best of cultural exchange at the Rockefeller Center. With awareness and wholesomeness, histories and narratives of diverse communities can become embraced by larger audiences.
