      S.E.A: our online platform for emerging artists.
      At Sims Contemporary we want to nurture and help emerging artists grow. We will have a new online exhibition quarterly that you will not want to miss! It is also a great opportunity as once a year we will select a few artists from the online exhibitions to be shown in our physical gallery in Chelsea, NY.
