A Curated Tour of the Independent art fair
Join us for a curator-led tour of work by women at this spring’s Independent Art Fair. Our tour will be led by a member of Independent’s Curatorial Team. The Fair is considered one of the highlights of New York’s May art week.
Established in 2010 with a collective art exhibition at the former Dia Center for the Arts, Independent now produces two landmark shows (Independent and Independent 20th Century), publishes editorial features and scholarship, and programs a range of research-based initiatives that bring together leading artists, gallerists, curators, and thought leaders. This year will feature over 70 galleries from around the world.
We are extremely excited to offer this tour, made just for NYC-NMWA.
Date: Friday, May 15, 2026
Time: 6pm
Location: Pier 36, 299 South Street, NYC
Please meet us at the entrance to Independent (Montgomery Street & South Street) at 5:45pm for a 6pm tour. The tour will include time for questions, as well as VIP pass that will allow you entry for the run of the fair.
Free for NYC-NMWA Members; $40 for Non-Members
This includes a VIP Pass, valid for entry for the entire weekend.
For those who are interested, we will be gathering for a self-treat snack/cocktail after our tour. Please send us an email no later than May 5th to indicate your interest in joining.
