NEW YORK ART FAIR GUIDE


Planning your next art adventure? Our year-round New York Art Fair Guide makes it easy to explore the city's top art fairs and festivals. Each listing includes a brief overview, location details, ticket info, and direct links to official websites and Instagram pages. Many fairs also share updates about special programs, VIP previews, and after-parties. To help you engage on social media, we've included popular hashtags for each fair—perfect for posting during your visit or following along online.

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.
