Affordable Art Fair New York City

The Affordable Art Fair New York, commonly known as AAF New York, is a premier art fair that showcases contemporary art. Held biannually in the spring and fall, it is an extension of a concept that began in London in 1999 by Ramsay Fairs Ltd. Over the years, this fair has solidified its position in the global art community. While versions of the Affordable Art Fair take place in cities such as Melbourne, Stockholm, London, and Amsterdam, its New York edition is hosted at the prominent Metropolitan Pavilion. Central to the fair's ethos is making art widely accessible. This is exemplified by a price cap of $12,000 USD on artworks, ensuring affordability for both seasoned art lovers and novices. In a city as artistically vibrant as New York, the fair presents a diverse range of paintings, graphics, sculptures, and photographs. It provides a stage for both emerging talents and recognized artists. A standout feature is the "Emerging Artist" exhibition, allowing visitors to unearth and purchase pieces from up-and-coming artists. The majority of exhibitors spotlight visual art and photography. The AAF New York draws a varied crowd of both international and local art aficionados, from gallery proprietors and art investors to collectors and casual art enthusiasts. It's more than just a fair; it's part of a global initiative to democratize art access and champion artists. Conveniently located, the Metropolitan Pavilion is easily reached via public transport or by car.

The Affordable Art Fair in New York City took place from Wednesday, 20. March to Sunday, 24. March 2024.
