The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) has announced the 12th edition of NADA New York, taking place from May 13 to 17, 2026, at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in West Chelsea. The fair will feature over 121 galleries, art spaces, and non-profit organizations from 15 countries and 46 cities, including 45 NADA Members and 51 first-time exhibitors such as Brigitte Mulholland (Paris), The Address (Brescia), and Central Server Works (Los Angeles). Returning initiatives include the TD Curated Spotlight, organized by Anthony Elms of the Mattress Factory, and NADA Presents, a series of conversations and performances. Highlights include solo presentations by Malcolm McCormick, Jonathan Torres, Effie Wanyi Li, Xiaoyi Gao, and others.
This edition matters because NADA New York remains a key platform for discovering emerging and established contemporary art during New York's art week, reinforcing the city's role as a global cultural hub. The fair's expansion to include galleries from diverse international cities and a high number of first-time exhibitors underscores NADA's commitment to championing innovative art spaces and fostering community. The event also builds on NADA's broader programming, including the recent NADA Ceramics showcase and the upcoming NADA Miami, highlighting the organization's year-round influence in the art world.
