May Brings More Than Flowers: Art Fairs to See in New York

May 1-4 at Chelsea Industrial, 538 West 28th Street.

Future Fair offers a mix of hyperlocal, national and international galleries, as well as a range of established and new. This year, there will be several from Montreal and three new ones from Oslo. But since the fair's founding in 2020, it has rejected business as usual. Its profit-sharing model has provisions to include galleries as shareholders. The fair has also long promoted galleries that are owned (or partly owned) by women, which this year constitute 75 percent of the exhibitors. The 2024 Talks Lounge will host candid conversations with professionals who, the fair organizers say, "peek behind the curtain" to offer practical advice for navigating the art world.
