Los Angeles, CA - October 30th, 2006 - Scion is proud to announce the Scion INSTALLATION 3 Art Show Tour culminating for the first time in Miami Beach during Art Basel. Launched in 2003, Scion INSTALLATION is a revolutionary art tour affirming Scion’s ongoing commitment to support independent artistic expression. Now in its third incarnation, the national tour of INSTALLATION 3 has hit six cities in 2006 (Seattle, Austin, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York and Atlanta) featuring a diverse array of artists from around the world painting on 3′ long polyurethane sculptures of the Scion tC designed by Wheaty Wheat Studios. Past years of the tour have included art painted directly onto Scion xA sculptures & xB vehicles and art created on three by eight foot canvasses by contemporary urban artists, both emerging and established.
On Thursday, December 7th, 2006 Scion presents Skywalkers by FriendsWithYou, a parade featuring 12 blimps designed by FriendsWithYou, David Choe, Ara Peterson, Misaki Kawai, PaperRad, Devil Robots and Mumble Boy.
