NEW YORK ART FAIR GUIDE
Planning your next art adventure? Our New York art fair guide is here year-round to
help. Each fair is listed with a quick overview, location details, ticket information,
and direct links to their websites and Instagram pages. Many fairs share updates about
special events and after-parties, and if you're posting during your visit, we've
included the most popular hashtags to use.
While Frieze New York in the spring and The Armory Show in the fall are the headline
events, there's an exciting mix of art fairs throughout the year. Right now, the focus
is on spring fairs, organized by start date to make planning easier. It's impossible to
see them all — we recommend selecting two or three and giving yourself time to explore.
If your schedule is tight, consider dedicating a day to gallery hopping in Chelsea,
Tribeca, or the Lower East Side — top recommendations are listed on the right side of
this guide.
