The Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) has named the Whitney Museum of American Art as the new philanthropic beneficiary of its annual fair at the Park Avenue Armory.

The new event, rebranded simply as the ADAA Fair, will direct its gala proceeds toward the Whitney’s educational and artistic programming.

henry street settlement independent art fair

The Henry Street Settlement, a nonprofit social-service organization on New York's Lower East Side, lost its primary annual fundraiser when the Art Dealers Association of America canceled The Art Show in July 2025. After months of uncertainty, Henry Street has partnered with Independent, the art fair that recently relocated to Pier 36, to host its 37th gala preview on May 14, 2026. The collaboration was brokered by art dealer James Fuentes, a Henry Street board member and longtime Lower East Side gallerist. The gala had raised over $38 million since 1989, and the cancellation left a budget gap that forced the organization to launch a virtual campaign raising only $600,000—half the usual amount—while federal cuts compounded the financial strain.

France also struggles to attract young collectors, unlike Asian markets where buyers average in their thirties, according to CPGA vice president Magda Danysz.

louvre museum to install 100 surveillance cameras anti intrusion systems

The Louvre Museum will install 100 surveillance cameras and anti-intrusion systems following the theft of France’s crown jewels last month. Director Laurence des Cars announced the measures to the Committee of Cultural Affairs of the National Assembly, noting that the cameras will monitor the building's exterior for "complete protection of the museum's surroundings." The anti-intrusion systems will be operational within two weeks, while the cameras are expected by the end of next year. The theft involved disc cutters used to break glass display cases in the Apollo Gallery, a method des Cars said had not been anticipated when the cases were replaced in 2019.
