What to Know
Prices Were Published Up Front
Works ranged from $100 to $12,000. The visible ceiling and clearly marked lower-price selections were central to the fair's effort to reduce uncertainty for new collectors.
Seventy-Eight Galleries Participated
New York galleries appeared alongside exhibitors from elsewhere in the United States and abroad. More than 400 artists supplied a broad cross-section of contemporary media and styles.
A Wall Focused on Work Under $1,000
The Wonders Under $1000 display gathered lower-priced pieces in one place, making comparison easier and turning affordability into a curatorial category.
Participation Extended Beyond Shopping
ROXEHA's Happy Living Wall invited visitors to alter a collaborative mural. Family Hours, artist conversations, Art After Dark, and advisory sessions added entry points beyond purchasing.
Fellowships Supported Emerging Galleries
Warnes Contemporary joined returning fellows Harsh Collective and SHEER. The program gave female-owned New York and Brooklyn galleries additional visibility within the fair. The official New York fair page maintains current editions and exhibitor information.
