CONDUCTOR Is New York’s First Art Fair Committed to the Global Majority

A new art fair called CONDUCTOR: Art Fair of the Global Majority will launch in Brooklyn from April 30 to May 3, 2026. Hosted at Powerhouse Arts, the inaugural edition will feature 27 gallery exhibitors and 17 special projects dedicated to artists from Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, and Indigenous Nations worldwide.

This fair represents a significant shift in the art fair landscape by explicitly centering artists and galleries from regions historically underrepresented in major Western art market hubs. It aims to expand access, representation, and cultural exchange, positioning itself as a platform for a new vanguard of global artistic talent and fostering dialogue about contemporary art's role in a changing world.
