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.
For the first time, AWAD is delighted to offer complimentary VIP Passes to OAF, including access for a plus one, to the Thursday VIP Preview in addition to the entire fair weekend at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea. AWAD Members, Partners, and Friends can get in touch with the AWAD Team for complimentary access to the premier fair dedicated to self-taught art, Art Brut, and outsider art.
