The spirit of Future Fair has always been one of collaboration across communities and cultures. This year, we’re proud to welcome international galleries from Canada, Puerto Rico, Germany, the UK, Italy, Costa Rica, Sweden, and Austria, each bringing a distinct voice and a shared commitment to innovation, dialogue, and independent vision.

“In Enrico Bach’s paintings, divided pictorial spaces, layered patterns, and shifting forms create a dynamic tension between precision and ambiguity, inviting viewers into a dialogue of structure and dissolution.” - Rita Burster, Founder

The C.O.A Contemporary Art Gallery opened its doors in Montreal in May 2014. While the gallery strives to discover new talents, it’s also committed to exhibiting the work of artists with intellectual and physical disabilities known as “outsiders.” The gallery is home to a roster of both Canadian and international artists, playing on established conventions and the perception they can bring to them. What they all have in common: an unusual creation, hence the name of the gallery: “Créateurs d’Œuvres Atypiques” (creators of atypical works).

“I am excited be making its debut at this year's Future Fair and to bring our artist's unique perspective to the vibrant New York art scene. I am happy to share we will be revealing artworks by Maria Kozak specifically created for the Future Fair presentation.” - Ilona Keilich, Gallery Founder & Director

“The Farm & Distillery Gallery is arriving from Berlin to exhibit three emerging artists, each with their own unique perspectives on the complexities of our world. We are excited to share these strong works to a broader audience of collectors.” - Todd Molinari, curator and artist

"Christabel Blackburn and Jess Cochrane create a thoughtful balance between personal reflection and shared social experience, each offering a unique lens to understand life today." - Millie Jason Foster, Director

The artworks from Cuban Artists Zorrilla and Serrano are photography-based, yet with a different approach to it. The former for his new vision of landscape using pictures that emigrants travel the path to the south border of the USA sent to each other as landmarks while Serrano creates models as a stamp, a sophisticated image to recreate a casual and particular moment as the ones.
JRS Art Gallery is a contemporary art gallery with an evolving program of emerging and mid-career artists. JRS is committed to exploring the expanding concept of art and its definition.

“Josefine Schulz offers an intimate and poetic body of work that captures the emotional texture of everyday life through the lens of her generation. Educated in Dresden and Paris, her painterly sensibility reveals a quiet depth and sensitivity to human connection. Her subjects—often accompanied by dogs—inhabit domestic interiors and moments of introspection, where themes of friendship, vulnerability, and gentle companionship unfold. With subtle grace, Schulz explores the porous line between the personal and the collective.” - Laetitia Gorsy, founder of She BAM!, Galerie Lætitia Gorsy

“We are presenting the new wave of Italian painters who are shaping both the present and future of the medium. The European canon is here — and so is the future of Italian painting." - Alessandra Carini, Gallery Owner

“We’re presenting two distinct voices shaping Costa Rica’s contemporary art scene, exploring how structure, colour, and perception inform our experience of natural and urban spaces.”- Belinda Seppings, Co-Founder

“Galerie Robertson Arès unites the distinct voices of Rachelle Bussières, Hedy Yang, and Karine Demers in a bold, material-driven reflection on identity, environmental urgency, and mental health.” - Emily Robertson, Owner

“The presentation features two female artists, Lunita July-Dorn and Najaax Harun, whose paintings explore the female form; how the form exists physically, and how the world within manifests change externally.” - Destinee Ross-Sutton, Founder

“As a gallerist, always focused on the emerging segment of contemporary art, I am very happy to present for my first fair in New York, the work of Thai Mainhard, a neo-abstract artist with a formidable talent and an uncommon sensitivity for the medium of painting.”- Giuseppe Compare, owner & founder

“We are thrilled to be exhibiting two exciting artists Anne Carney Raines and Grace Tobin at Future Fair this year and look forward to presenting their work. Rooted in the exploration of staged and ‘through’ interior spaces, the artists both seek to discover how we can shift our perspective of the domestic landscape.” - India Rose James, Founding Director

SUPPAN is a Vienna-based contemporary art gallery representing a selection of emerging and established contemporary artists and artist estates. The primary focus of the gallery is developing and growing artists’ careers and support their artistic explorations within the context of exhibitions and other projects, with a particular emphasis on painting and its expanded possibilities.

For Future 2025, TIAN Contemporain presents a group exhibition highlighting the use of deconstruction as an artistic approach and a visual strategy to re-evaluate and reimagine our relationship with the natural world. Featuring the works of Robin Crofut-Brittingham (b. 1989, Vermont), Sarah Tompkins (b. 1990, Ottawa), and Hidenori Ishii (b. 1978, Japan), this exhibition showcases ways in which these artists engage with landscape imagery, while simultaneously recontextualizing traditional naturalist elements to suggest alternative ways of experiencing modern-day environmental realities.

“By centering Canadian artists, our presentation at Future Fair 2025 underscores the power of art to transcend borders, engage with complex histories, and affirm a collective identity rooted in resilience and transformation.” - Mel Trojkovic, Gallery Director

Galerie Wishbone at booth T5 presents three women artists whose cross-continental practices converge in subtle, resonant visions of nature.

"Shadows of Nature: Drawing Connections” bridges the gap between art, ecology, and activism. In response to the urgent call for environmental awareness, this exhibition brings together six artists whose works explore the fragile relationship between humanity and nature. Through diverse mediums—from Benjamin Murphy’s tactile charcoal drawings to Michael Scoggins’ pencil crayon on large paper, Eva Blue’s photographic textures of whale bones, Yuriko Kubota’s double-photo landscapes, Daniel Agdag’s architectural cardboard creations, and David Hanes’ nature-inspired paintings—the show tackles the pressing issues of climate change and sustainability.
Not all exhibitors travel from a physical location: some reimagine what a gallery can be. This year, Future Fair welcomes two nomadic and online platforms that move across borders and screens to support emerging artists and fresh perspectives.

“3walls is thrilled to present a collection of magical images from Rob Stephenson, The Neighborhoods series: Rob is mid-way through his lofty goal of photographing all the neighborhoods of New York, one a week (and there are over 300 of them!) and then distributing a newsletter dedicated to each one, complete with the history, essential characters, lore and sounds from the street.”

"Through an intimate exploration of family archives and transcultural memories, Baussan’s latest works weave a poignant narrative of identity, belonging, and the enduring impact of childhood across France, El Salvador, and Haiti." - Renata Ribeiro, Communications Manager

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.
