Change can be tricky — especially when it comes to something as familiar and well-loved as the Affordable Art Fair. This fall, the fair packed up its canvases and moved from its longtime home at the Metropolitan Pavilion to the Starrett-Lehigh Building on Manhattan’s far west side. Not only did this mean a completely new floor plan to navigate, but it also meant I could no longer stroll there from my apartment — major bummer. Still, once I got my bearings in the sprawling new space, I found plenty to love, including the building’s abundance of natural light, cool views and of course, an abundance of fantastic art.

Because collecting art is fun! Join me now, as we admire some of my favorite artworks from the Spring Affordable Art Fair, which took place in March. Let’s go!

I’ve been attending NYC’s biannual Affordable Art Fair for the past ten years, with the exception of 2020, when both the Spring and Fall fairs — like everything else — were preempted by Covid. Since that Year Without Art, the AAF has come back bigger than ever! This season, the art seemed especially vibrant and varied, and I had a fantastic time, strolling from floor to floor while sipping a free Hard Iced Tea from the open bar and checking out all of my favorite art and art peeps. Please enjoy my photos from a really good first night at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Continue reading Favorite Art from The Affordable Art Fair, Spring 2024!→
