For Future Fair’s sixth edition, we’re proud to welcome international galleries from as nearby as Canada and as far away as Korea, rounding out a coalition that also includes exhibitions from Colombia, France, Japan, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, and the UK. Each voice brings a distinctive approach and curatorial impulse, connecting disparate communities and cultures in a spirit of dialogue.

Abbozzo Gallery is presenting a dual artist booth of Miles Ingrassia and John Vitale. Both artists practice in the painting tradition and are known for their exploration of colour and form, but approach their practice from opposing perspectives. In his dramatic narrative compositions, Ingrassia aims to “trouble” contemporary conceptions of masculinity and realism. Vitale creates tension in his colourful but soft matte compositions, drawing from early abstract expressionism, color field painting, and the visual language of design.

Frank Morrison and Tyreek Morrison are presented as a duo exhibition grounded in both continuity and divergence. As father and son, their practices engage painting as a site of inheritance, memory, and reinterpretation across generations. Frank’s work carries a narrative and figurative weight shaped by lived experience, while Tyreek’s paintings operate in a more atmospheric and suspended register. Together, they form a dialogue about transmission, difference, and the ways painting absorbs social and emotional histories without resolving them.

Alison Milne Co. will present a new body of work created specifically for Future Fair by South African artist Kirsten Sims. Sims is known for her vibrant, narrative-driven paintings that balance whimsy and humor with quiet emotional depth. Through gestural brushwork, intuitive color, and recurring characters, she elevates everyday moments into scenes that feel immediately intimate and broadly relatable.

Artbooth Gallery is pleased to present David Najib Kasir, a contemporary oil painter whose practice bridges personal memory with collective cultural history. Kasir’s work reflects on his parents’ migration to the United States from Syria and Iraq, transforming inherited memory into powerful visual testimony. His paintings operate as both personal reckoning and historical witness, addressing the impact of conflict in the Middle East and North Africa while foregrounding the emotional resilience of displaced families.

Artbug’s presentation explores a dynamic dialogue between past and future, where artists negotiate the tension and harmony between tradition and modernity. Shaped by transnational exchange between Los Angeles and Mexico City, the works engage indigeneity, landscape, and sustainable materials as enduring sites of cultural and ecological continuity. This cohort reframes futurity not as rupture, but as return—centering ancestral knowledge, ritual, and memory as generative forces for imagining new worlds. Drawing on shared legacies, a visual language emerges, proposing renewed understandings of interconnected identities across Latin America and the United States.

Rooted in an underground aesthetic infused with acid humor and a punk attitude, Cristian Franco transports key figures from the 20th and 21st centuries into a lysergic plane where their symbolic and ideological weight is deconstructed. It’s about seeing the person from within, at a molecular level, stripping away the historical burden that surrounds them in order to expose how narratives of power are constructed.

Presenting the works of Valérie Gobeil and Yasuaki Kuroda, Galerie Robertson Arès brings forward two distinct yet complementary explorations of textile as a language. Montreal-based artist Valérie Gobeil approaches textile the way one might approach painting: through investigations of color, composition, and form. Tokyo-based Yasuaki Kuroda approaches weaving as an act of recording: an accumulation of choices, gestures, and interactions between artist and material. Together, they offer a dialogue on textile as both medium and meaning.

The young Korean artists Suyeon Kim and Hyunsun Jeon collect, record, and reconstruct in order to depict the translation of visual forms of personal memories. The two artists experiment with how to choose materials and how to build elements through the battle of simulated and abstract art.

Gillian Jason Gallery returns to Future Fair New York with a solo presentation of Colette LaVette, whose paintings conjure a mystical realm where utopia and dystopia coexist, revealing the complexities of human nature through a distinctly contemporary reimagining of Rococo aesthetics. LaVette’s delicate chromatic palette, opulent drapery, and ornamental detail are tempered by a profound engagement with our earliest, most instinctive selves. Her practice asks what remains of us beneath social conditioning - what it means to be human in a primordial, visceral sense.

Currents of Memory brings together the emotionally charged narratives of Noriko Shinohara and the atmospheric abstractions of Ai Sogawa Campbell in a dialogue that navigates time, memory, and embodied experience. Together, their practices create a spatial tension between the figurative and the abstract, story and sensation. The exhibition invites viewers to inhabit the space between these poles—to experience memory not as a fixed archive, but as a living current.

Janey presents Canadian emerging artists Claire Drummond, Britt Elise Grayson, and Yvonne Weiss in an exhibition centered on metamorphosis. Through figurative, sculptural, and nature-based works, each artist explores metamorphosis as both a concept and an experience, inviting viewers to witness transformation, emergence, and the possibility of all things. Future Fair marks the gallery’s debut, as well as the first appearance of all participating artists at an international art fair and in New York City.

"Figures in Transit" will bring together the work of emerging artists from different generations and geographies—Galud, Diogo Barros Pires, and Samuel Bloch—whose practices converge through a shared commitment to storytelling, figuration, and a vibrant, emotionally charged color palette. Though separated by age and life experience, these three artists use color and form as narrative tools, transforming personal histories into universally resonant visual languages.

OCD (OscarChloeDirectory) presents Nadia Younes and Adriana Wynne Ronson, a two-artist presentation examining the charged intersection of the industrial and the natural. Both artists work with industrial materials—steel, resin, conduit, bronze, glass, demolition debris, but redirect them toward forms that register endurance and vitality. Together, the booth stages a dialogue between highways and gardens, the structural grid and the planted edge.

Citlali Haro is from Mexico and mixes dreams and reality in her paintings. Cloe Galasso is from Argentina and explores the feminine through form and abstraction. Between the two artists, stylistic exponents from the North and South of Latin America are presented and explored.

Established in May 2024, PG Gallery is a contemporary art space dedicated to supporting emerging artists both locally and internationally. Through a hybrid model combining residency programs and gallery exhibitions, it provides artists with resources, workspace, and opportunities to engage directly with curators and collectors. PG Gallery fosters an environment where artists can maintain their unique voice while presenting diverse and experimental works to a wider audience.

Monumentality and memorials have become one of the most contested cultural topics in recent years. Laura Noguera approaches this discussion from an unexpected position: she brings into oil painting a problem traditionally associated with sculpture, reframing a matter of public memory through an intimate, autobiographical lens. Drawing from the margins of femininity and Latin American/Caribbean experience, Noguera addresses an issue long centered within dominant Western narratives.

Refusés brings together Samah Rafiq and Allegra Esclapon through a shared investigation of luster as a tool for reflection. Drawing from religious painting, Rafiq’s exaggerated use of shine becomes a way of questioning what we choose to elevate, desire, or worship. In the sculptural realm, Esclapon makes ceramic vessels derived from photographic images of bodies in motion. Their work opens a timely dialogue around surface, visibility, and the power embedded in what we are encouraged to look at, or not.

For Future Art Fair 2026, SEIZAN Gallery has created a group presentation featuring art by Marina Berio, Miné Okubo, and Asako Tabata—three women artists of Asian heritage working across different generations and cultural contexts.

Wishbone Gallery is pleased to present a curated presentation featuring three women artists from three continents: Kaori Izumiya (Japan), Florencia Rothschild (Argentina), and Magali Cazo (France). Bringing together painting, ceramics, and ink, their practices enter into a quiet and thoughtful dialogue, forming a shared visual language that privileges nuance, sensitivity, and introspection.

Wondering People is proud to present the work of Tbilisi-born artist Sopho Mamaladze. Her practice explores identity, transformation and memory through a symbolic visual language. Through objects and stories from childhood, her work invites a sense of nostalgia and familiarity, playing with boundaries between self and other, past and present, reality and dreams.

New York has long been a beacon for artists and galleries alike, and this year, Future Fair is proud to spotlight exhibitors from across the state. From the vibrant streets of Brooklyn to the creative hubs of the Hudson Valley, these galleries capture the diversity, energy, and independent spirit that defines New York’s art community today.
Future Fair is proud to call New York City home. With 27 galleries and project spaces based in the five boroughs and its surrounding townships, our appreciation of local talent is more evident than ever. New York artists come from all backgrounds and work across all mediums, with a strong showing of their talent and range on view in our sixth edition.
