Key Takeaways:

  • 170+ global galleries and artists under one roof—originals to affordable prints, every budget covered

  • Discoveries Collection features curated works at $3,000 or less—ideal entry point for new collectors

  • Opening Night Preview (Thu 5–8PM) includes access to all public fair days Friday through Sunday—best value ticket

  • Buy Opening Night tickets in advance—price jumps to $75 on April 9


An Insider’s Tip:

Lock in your Opening Night Preview ticket before April 9 to avoid the door price hike—and it gets you into all public days too, making it the clear best-value option. Arrive Thursday at 5PM sharp when the energy peaks and the serious collectors are still outnumbering the crowds. The Discoveries Collection is where the sleeper finds live—$3,000-and-under pieces that punch well above their weight. Parking at Pier 36 is limited; book via SpotHero in advance and target the South Street lots.


A Note for Our Inner Circle:

Artexpo isn't Art Basel—and that's exactly the point. This is where you walk out with something on your arm, not just a business card. With 48 years of market momentum and names ranging from Warhol to Mr. Brainwash to emerging unknowns, it's the rare fair that genuinely serves both serious collectors and first-time buyers. If you've been meaning to start (or grow) a collection, this is your weekend..
