The fair, running through Sunday, May 5th, includes nearly 300 artists represented by 70 international galleries. It showcases works by important contemporary, post-war, and pop artists, and features painting, photography, prints, drawings, design, and sculpture. “For our fifth edition, we are proud to present a premium art fair that showcases an impressive selection of artworks from artists of the 20th and 21st centuries as well as work from the most significant emerging artists,” said Nick Korniloff, Director, Art New York. “In addition, our presentation provides a worthy complement to the activities taking place during New York art week.”

During the fair, young art lovers can visit The Children’s Museum of the Arts booth to create their own works of art. Teachers will host one-hour sessions throughout the day, allowing parents and caregivers to enjoy the fair while their little ones learn some contemporary art techniques. Spots are available on a first-come first-serve basis on site, or you can email rsvp@cmany.org to choose a time.

The fair includes many special events, including the Jerkface Interactive 360-Degree Photo Booth presented by Taglialatella Galleries: An enclosed, immersive experience which allows the viewer to step inside one of the artist’s larger-than-life murals.
