AWAD at the Armory Show

by | Sep 21, 2026 | Blog post

AWAD’s activities for New York’s Armory Week continue with the Armory Show! We are very pleased to offer complimentary VIP passes to our Members, Friends, and Partners for the first time this year.

A cornerstone of New York’s cultural landscape since 1994, The Armory Show opens New York’s fall art season by bringing the world’s leading international contemporary and modern art galleries to the Javits Center each year. The fair emphasizes thoughtful programming, elevated presentations, curatorial excellence, meaningful institutional partnerships, and engaging public art activations.

The Armory Show returns this year from September 24–27, 2026, convening over 240 exhibitors for an edition shaped by artistic exchange across the Americas. The Caribbean and its diaspora form a curatorial throughline across the fair, anchored by María Elena Ortiz’s Focus section and extending into gallery presentations, performance and the wider program. Expanded editions of Presents and Solo create further space for emerging galleries, individual artists and focused propositions. 

AWAD Members, Friends, and Partners who still need a VIP pass can please get in touch with the team.
