New York Art Fairs

March 4-8 2009

From March 4-8, New York City hosts its biggest art weekend of the year around the Armory Show. Though the current economic condition has affected the yearly event with three fairs not returning, there is an abundance of terrific events. This year, Artlog will be at the highly acclaimed PULSE New York fair (March 5-8) with a booth curated by the Humble Arts Foundation. Our friends at Fountain return to NYC with a massive pier space and are joined by Scope, Bridge, Volta & Pool art fairs.

For event recommendations check out our Connect Newsletter Art Fair recommendations (Part I & Part II), the weekly Artlog Picks, and the Armory Week Calendar.

And for the twitterers, we have set up a microsite pulling in responses from NY Art Fair exhibitors, organizers and attendees, live.artlog.com. If you are posting on twitter just add #nyartfairs or one of the fair-specific #tags to your posts and your comments will be pulled into the site along with everybody else's!

Artlog will hold a young collector's tour of PULSE New York (TBA) and is joining forces with the WGA on a major event/party as part of the Armory's Brooklyn night on Saturday, March 7th. Find out more about our Williamsburg gallery tours & blockbuster party at Supreme Trading!
