The Press Release:
This fall, the 37th edition of Affordable Art Fair NYC comes to the Starrett-Lehigh Building in Chelsea from September 17–21, 2025, bringing together 85 galleries from 13 countries for 4 days of exploring and taking home contemporary art, with every piece under $12,000. This marks the fair’s first ever edition in this venue and the first time each participating gallery will present work in the space offering visitors an entirely new art-fair experience.

Galleries from Argentina, Canada, Chile, France, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nigeria, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, and across the United States, will showcase thousands of artworks spanning painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and more. Collectors can expect to discover both emerging talents and established names in a vibrant, approachable setting designed to make art collecting accessible to all.

A clear thread throughout many of Affordable Art Fair NYC’s gallery presentations is a commitment to amplifying diverse perspectives, whether through cultural identity, gender, or neurodiversity. Many of the artists showcasing work engage deeply with personal and collective narratives, exploring memory, home, displacement, resilience, and social issues.

Collaboration and cross-disciplinary approaches are common, from weaving and murals to photography and mosaics. Recognition spans both prestigious institutions and public platforms, reflecting a balance of critical acclaim, commercial success, and cultural relevance. Here are a few examples coming to the fair this Fall:

* Peter Peereboom (ART_020) – Dutch artist based in Paris for over 35 years; solo exhibition at Centre Pompidou.
* Mauricio Morillas (ARTMIX) – Nine works acquired by Delta Airlines for Atlanta Sky Club Lounge.
