New YorkMay 4, 2022 • View in browserYour Ultimate Guide to NYC’s May Art FairsSpring is here and it’s time to look ahead to the art fair endurance test that is May in New York. This year, May 5–12 will mark the inaugural “New York Art Week,” a citywide initiative involving a consortium of museums, nonprofit art organizations, auction houses, and four art fairs: Future Fair, NADA New York, Independent Art Fair, and TEFAF New York. Next up, from May 18–22, is Frieze Week, a battery of art fairs including, of course, Frieze New York (later in the month than usual), along with VOLTA New York, 1-54 New York, and The Photography Show. There is so much to see in these weeks; enjoy it.
