THE NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW IS ON!
One of my favorite things I look forward to in March is New York International Auto Show. This year is no exception. The auto industry is one of the major bright spots in the U.S. Economy and is an industry that helps determine consumer spending and how healthy the economy is. I can say that people are buying cars and will continue to purchase mainly because cars have now become a ‘Lifestyle’. Technology has had a lot to do with that. Cars are not only for getting from one place to another; they are for LIVING and enjoyment. Technology has enabled the most modest car buyer to experience the hottest technology including WIFI hot spots and many other luxuries that had been only available to the high end car buyer. You can actually live in your car now. The Self Driving cars are on the move and will be ready soon.
The SUV is alive and kicking. Major luxury lines are coming out with their own SUV this year and next year. Bentley is one of those brands. Rolls Royce is working on one, Volvo has a awesome SUV and Maserati has an SUV!!! Times have changed and are changing in the auto world. Auto’s and Technology are coming together to take us all to the next level of experience.
The NY International Auto Show does not disappoint, get out there! It’s on until April 3rd. And do not forget the DUB show. It’s hot and they added Motorcycles last year. Its a day of fun, education and dreaming and testing that new car you have been wanting to check out! I have done my own research and have a few options for my next new babies. This time I will have to get 2 cars and a truck.!! LOL! The trucks are downstairs and they have some beauties. Be sure not to miss them!
WATCH OUT FOR UBC-TV ‘s New show on cars and lifestyle this summer!
2016 has been a year of great change. We are in the midst of significant changes in business, technology, finance and life as we know it. So get ready for it. More on that at a later time. I wanted to discuss the Armory Show this year. I was very pleased that the focus was on African Art this year. Africa is re-emerging as a major force in the art world. Mother Africa is where is all began and here we are here and now right back at the beginning.
So a big shout out to the Armory organizers. I wanted to also give a shout out to the New York City Galleries. They really brought their best this year and New York has become the center of visual art among other industries.
THE ARMORY SHOW WELCOMES THE ART WORLD TO NEW YORK CITY!
Once a year the global arts world converge on New York City. Its called the Armory Show that will be held March 3rd through the 6th at Piers 92 and 94 in Manhattan, New York. It is where over 200 of the world’s premier galleries gather to show their wares, network and sell some of the world’s most treasured art pieces.
What I love about the Armory Show is that it gives art collectors up close and personal contact with artists, galleries owners and industry professionals from all over the world. If you wanted to always go to Paris, Milan or any of the galleries in the world to purchase art you can now do it right here in Manhattan. In addition to the world presence there will be galleries from all across the USA and New York City. So there is no excuse for you not to go to this special treat to all of the art collectors and even the ones of you who just want to learn about art. The whole week will be filled with art tours, gallery showings and fun. I will be there in the midst of it all because I love art and I collect art. Make sure you follow me on Twitter @PeggyDodson to catch my Meerkat Live stream of the show or the restream of it.
