ADAA Names 75 Exhibitors for 2024 Art Show

The fair will additionally partner with the AAMC Foundation—the leading international organization for nonprofit art curators across all fields of focus worldwide, with 1500+ members from over 500 organizations in more than 40 countries—to host a Curatorial Convening on the topic of Leadership Now that brings together up to 60 select nonprofit art curators for a closed set of engaging discussions about innovative work concepts and pressing issues within the sector. Culminating in a public panel discussion on the same theme as part of the fair’s annual talk series, this new partnership will broaden The Art Show’s institutional audience by bringing in leading curators and museum directors.

Maureen Bray, ADAA Executive Director comments: “We are thrilled to ring in The Art Show’s 36th year with our newly established program, “Spotlight On...” which will underscore the geographic diversity of our ADAA members, highlight the robust artistic communities that they’re a part of, and bring new audiences to the fair. The inaugural “Spotlight On... Houston'' will consequently celebrate the city’s arts scene while fostering deeper connections within the national arts community as a whole.”

Of the 75 ADAA member galleries featured at the fair this year, an impressive 43 booths will take the form of solo exhibitions—including standout presentations by Chase Hall with Pace Prints (New York, NY), Mladen Stilinović with Peter Freeman, Inc. (New York, NY), Tim Hawkinson with Hosfelt Gallery (San Francisco, CA), Billie Zangewa with Lehmann Maupin (New York, NY), Isabella Ducrot with Petzel (New York, NY), and Suchitra Mattai with Roberts Projects (Los Angeles, CA).

The fair is additionally pleased to include presentations by first-time member exhibitors, including: CANADA (New York, NY), Berry Campbell (New York, NY), Hales Gallery (New York, NY), Charles Moffett, (New York, NY), Paulson Fontaine Press (Berkeley, CA), Two Palms (New York, NY), and Timothy Taylor (New York, NY). Furthermore, ADAA stalwarts like Krakow Witkin Gallery (Boston, MA), P·P·O·W (New York, NY), and Michael Werner (New York, NY & Los Angeles, CA) will return this year as time-honored presenters alongside participants from the first-ever fair in 1989, such as ACA Galleries (New York, NY), Nancy Hoffman Gallery (New York, NY), and Forum Gallery (New York, NY).

Anthony Meier, President of the ADAA says: “The intimate environment created by The Art Show in the Park Avenue Armory is unparalleled, as it offers a unique platform for dealers to take risks they might not consider at other fairs: presenting solo exhibitions by less established or underknown artists and thoughtfully curated group exhibitions that shed new light on a historical moment or artistic movement. The richness of these presentations prompt prolonged observation and in-depth conversations with collectors that make The Art Show a special event in our member galleries’ programs each year.”

The Art Show was jointly conceived in 1989 by the ADAA and Henry Street Settlement—one of the country’s oldest nonprofit organizations, founded in 1893 under the name Nurses’ Settlement. Each year, Henry Street supports more than 50,000 New Yorkers in need through its education, employment, shelter, health and wellness, and arts programs. Since its initiation, The Art Show has raised more than $37 million in support of Henry Street and continues to be the institution's greatest source of unrestricted funding. All admission fees from the fair’s run-of-show benefit Henry Street, along with the proceeds from the Benefit Preview gala evening, a cornerstone event in New York society.
