The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) has announced the 77 galleries and dealers participating in its 2026 Photography Show, set for April 22–26 at New York's Park Avenue Armory. The exhibitor list includes established names like Edwynn Houk Gallery and Yancey Richardson, alongside first-time participants such as Ruiz-Healy Art and Leica Gallery New York. A new 'Focal Point' section for solo presentations will be introduced, and the fair aims for greater gender parity, with a third of exhibitors being women-led or founded.
The 2026 AIPAD Award will be presented to artist, scholar, and NYU professor Deborah Willis during the VIP opening. Willis, a MacArthur 'Genius' Grant and Guggenheim Fellowship recipient, is a leading authority on Black photography history. Her recognition and the fair's curated focus underscore a continued institutional effort to highlight diverse perspectives and expand the historical and contemporary boundaries of the photographic medium.
