The Press Release:
The Outsider Art Fair (OAF), the leading international event dedicated to self-taught and Outsider Art, will return to New York City for its 34th edition at the Metropolitan Pavilion from Thursday, March 19 to Sunday, March 22, 2026. Featuring 68 exhibitors from across the United States and around the world, the fair continues to serve as a key forum for the global conversation about artists who work without formal artistic training and operate outside established art-historical traditions.

With participation from galleries, independent dealers, progressive studios, and non-profit organizations, OAF provides a vital platform for discovery, research, and meaningful engagement. “The Outsider Art Fair has long been a place for artists whose work challenges and expands our understanding of art,” said OAF Director Elizabeth Denny. “We remain committed to increasing the visibility of these artists and fostering important conversations within and beyond the art world. We are very encouraged by our growing audience—attendance in 2025 surpassed pre-COVID levels by 15 percent, and we expect that momentum to continue in 2026.”
