The MFA Fair

Art Market Productions presents the inaugural edition of The MFA Fair, launching this November 14-17 at Downtown Manhattan’s Pier 36.

Presenting a survey of the most thought provoking contemporary art being created in universities and colleges today, The MFA Fair provides a platform for audiences to experience the work of the next generation of artists in a museum quality environment. The first edition of The MFA Fair will feature a robust program of expert talks and industry panels designed to introduce this graduating class to the market. Held during New York City’s fall contemporary art auctions, The MFA Fair will draw attention from leading curators, collectors, dealers, critics, and art enthusiasts from around the world.
