In 1994, four New York art dealers had the ambitious goal of creating a new art fair to support their artists and attract global attention. They succeeded. The result was a groundbreaking cultural moment that has become vital to the New York art market and beyond. While much has changed over the years, our ingenuity and ambition have not. The Armory Show is a galvanizing force in the art world and essential to New York’s cultural landscape.

The 2024 fair marks The Armory Show's 30th Anniversary. Now in its third decade, the fair continues to be a cornerstone of New York's international art scene, bringing together diverse presentations of art, curatorial programming, live conversations, and public projects.
