Whether you’re hunting for a standout piece, upgrading your walls without wrecking your wallet, or just feeding your creative side, this is the art-world sweet spot. Come curious, leave inspired...
Enter a living archive of creativity at Artexpo New York, the storied art-world heavyweight returning once again as one of the globe’s most influential art gatherings. With more than 1,000 boundary-pushing independent artists under one roof, you’re stepping into a rare mix of legacy, innovation, and cultural cachet.
Rooted in a legacy that began in 1978, Artexpo New York has long helped define the contemporary art market as we know it. This is the same stage that once showcased icons like Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, and continues to champion modern visionaries such as Yayoi Kusama and Mr. Brainwash. Across decades, movements, and mediums, the show’s reputation has been built on spotting greatness early.
This year, thousands of collectors, creatives, and art lovers will converge at Pier 36 to experience an expansive showcase of original paintings, sculptures, photography, ceramics, prints, and beyond. Against the industrial-chic New York waterfront, this critically acclaimed event (praised by The New York Times, LA Times, Fine Art Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal) delivers a front-row seat to both legendary names and rising stars.
Beyond the walls, Artexpo invites you deeper into the process with immersive programming that goes far past viewing. Tap into artist-led experiences, thought-provoking panels with top gallerists and visionary creatives, and insider platforms like the Spotlight Program, Art Lab, Visionaries, and Art Talks, each designed to pull back the curtain on how great art is made and discovered.
Consider this your invitation to be moved, challenged, and creatively recharged...
