Future Fair closed its debut in-person edition Sunday, September 12, 2021 welcoming collectors, curators, institutions, critics, and all art-lovers to celebrate the 34 exhibitors assembled at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in New York City all through the art week. The fair aimed to create a true community of dealer-to-dealer support and discovery. As the first fair to launch since the Covid-19 pandemic, the platform welcomed thousands both in-person in New York City and online at futurefairs.com and on Artsy.

 
 
 

“The new art fair wants to be a “change agent” with more collaboration, global locations and a hyperlocal New York scene.”
