How A Lower Manhattan Store Is Encouraging New Yorkers To Vote

NOHO, NY — A Lower Manhattan retailer that calls itself the "most interesting store in the world" is doing its part to encourage New Yorkers to vote.

From Thursday to Nov. 5, SHOWFIELDS is teaming up with Polaroid and Rave the Vote, a voter registration initiative, to get city-goers excited about voting in the 2020 election.

"SHOWFIELDS has traversed to the farthest ends of the world wide web to bring you the most interesting __ in the world," an About section on the store's website reads. "The ultimate curator, SHOWFIELD brings together the most mission-driven, design-oriented, innovative, unconventional, and relevant brands, artists and communities from around the globe."

SHOWFIELDS is dedicating 1200 square-feet within its store at 11 Bond Street in NoHo into an art gallery centered around voter activism.

Customers can shop at SHOWFIELDS and snap pictures with Polaroid cameras to post on collective photo walls within the store. Each picture will include a description of what inspires them to vote.

The store will also feature pieces from local artists, along with live music from an in-house DJ.

Social distancing rules are enforced within the store, and masks are required at all times.
