The Armory Show art fair in New York City
Overview
The Armory Show returned to the Javits Center in late September 2026, featuring more than 240 exhibitors. The event placed a significant curatorial emphasis on the Caribbean and its diaspora, integrating these artists and galleries through the fair’s south entrance.
Specific highlights included the Havana-founded gallery El Apartamento and a solo presentation by Haitian American artist Kathia St. Hilaire. As the fair opened, attendees viewed diverse works, such as Brianna Bass’s abstract pieces, Megan Koons’s combination of paintings and textiles, and floral-themed presentations by Celia Paul.
