For Immediate Release
Scion's National Art Tour - INSTALLATION 4: It's A Beautiful World-
Arrives in Miami during Art Basel

Los Angeles - November 2007 - Scion's fourth installment of the innovative Scion
Installation Art Tour, entitled "It's A Beautiful World," arrives in Miami for the prestigious
Art Basel event on December 7. The opening reception for the public will take place from
7:00 - 10:00 P.M. at The Raleigh Hotel Penthouse on South Beach, preceded by a private
press reception, 5:00 -7:00 P.M. All "Beautiful World" artists will attend both of these events.
Six of this year's artists designed custom balloons, each eight-feet in diameter, which will fly
over the grounds of the Raleigh Hotel. Also on display will be the custom designed Scion art
cars from Dalek, Sage Vaughn, and Ron English.

Art Basel is the largest art event in North America - each year Miami plays host to galleries,
art collectors, artists, dealers, curators, critics and art enthusiasts from around the world. All
of the Installation artists will have the opportunity to attend and take advantage of all the
opportunities that Art Basel offers.

The theme "It's a Beautiful World" was interpreted by each artist, in one of four mediums-
painting, photography, sculpture, and collage.

This year's artists include: Andrew Pommier, Andy Mueller, Angela Boatwright, Blaine
Fontana, Blek LeRat, Books llll, Caia Koopman, Chris Yormick, Cody Hudson, Dalek,
David Choe, David Ellis, Eye One, Francesco LoCastro, Freddi C, J. Shea, James Jean,
Jeff Soto, Joshua Krause, Kelsey Brookes, Kenton Parker, Kofie, Mel Kadel, Michael
Sieben, Mike Giant, Rammellzee, RETNA, R. Grimes, Ron English, Sam Flores, Sage
Vaughn, The London Police, Tim McCormick, Travis Millard, Yoskay Yamamoto and
more.

Scion Installation 4 will visit the following cities around the country: Austin, Texas; Chicago;
Minneapolis; Los Angeles; Miami; New York; Philadelphia; Seattle; and Boston. Each tour stop
will kick off with an opening event for local art aficionados, press, and other urban
tastemakers.

The final tour stop and auction will be in Los Angeles, at the new Scion Installation L.A.
space in the Culver City Arts District. All of the artwork will be auctioned off to the public, and
100 percent of the proceeds will go toward art related charities. In previous years, the auctions
have raised more than $110,000 for charity.

Launched in 2003, Scion Installation is a revolutionary art tour affirming Scion's ongoing
commitment to supporting independent artistic expression and featuring work from an
unprecedented collective of contemporary artists. Previous participants have included: Andre
from Paris, Gary Baseman, Mr Cartoon, Crash, Daim, Daze, Blaine Fontana, Sam
Flores, Friendswithyou, Futura, Mike Giant, Justin Hampton, Krush, Mear One, Ricky
Powell, Persue, Revok, Retna, Rostarr, Saber, Kenny Scharf, Seak, StayHigh 149,
Wearesupervision, and more. The program is designed to give exposure to both established
and emerging artists.

For four years the tour has evolved, and each year the medium with which the artists
showcase their work changes. The first year featured Scion xB panels and xA sculptures, while
the second year presented art on three foot by eight foot wood panels. Each artist’s unique
style was introduced on three-foot long polyurethane Scion tC sculptures for the third tour.
