Armory Arts Week is New York's March art fair stravaganza now in year 14, and kicked off yesterday with a press preview starring Paul Morris and Glenn Lowry smiling (sort of), special VIP access in the noon hour, Pommery champagne being poured under a neon sign (art project) reading SCANDIVANIAN PAIN, and legions of black tee - shirted Staff stamping the paper giveaways in
the Nordic focus section.

Nordic Focus section, an entire section of the fair is dedicated to primarily showcasing artist - run and non-profit galleries.
