VERGE (Art Basel) Miami Beach FL

Company Overview:
Verge Art Fair is a production of Workman/Steinhauer Productions. Verge Art Fair is an art exposition focused exclusively on the presentation of emerging art, with showcases in Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach in December, in New York concurrent with the Armory Show and in Basel, Switzerland in June during Art Basel. Workman/Steinhauer Productions is a Chicago and New York-based, full-service production company with specialties in consultation, events, development and management of art and cultural properties. Workman/Steinhauer Productions provide expertise in cultural and art related nation branding initiatives, including prior experience with the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, The Hungarian Cultural Center, art and culture programs through the Swiss Embassy, The Canadian Cultural Centre and others.

Mission:
Verge is an international platform for the most exciting and interesting in new and emerging art. Verge exists to establish boundaries of the extraordinary as a counter to the natural compulsion towards stagnation in the way art is evaluated and delivered to the public. Staying true to this necessary state for the advancement of art requires a sustained focus on the best new ideas and practices of those marginal or newly emerging to international art audiences. The satisfaction of this fixed requirement for a healthy and competitive artistic culture is at the core of Verge as an international exposition of the highest quality artistic production and the galleries, museums and audiences who sustain it.

Sustainable Development
Where Do You Stand

"In 1987, the United Nations released the Brundtland Report, which defines sustainable development as 'development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.'[8]
The United Nations 2005 World Summit Outcome Document refers to the "interdependent and mutually reinforcing pillars" of sustainable development as economic development, social development, and environmental protection.[9]
Indigenous peoples have argued, through various international forums such as the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and the Convention on Biological Diversity, that there are four pillars of sustainable development, the fourth being cultural. The Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (UNESCO, 2001) further elaborates the concept by stating that "...cultural diversity is as necessary for humankind as biodiversity is for nature”; it becomes “one of the roots of development understood not simply in terms of economic growth, but also as a means to achieve a more satisfactory intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual existence". In this vision, cultural diversity is the fourth policy area of sustainable development."
