1-54 Art Fair returns to New York from 1-4 May 2024!


Returning 1– 4 May 2024, 1-54 New York will feature 30+ galleries exhibiting the work of over 70 artists from Africa and the global diaspora, making this edition the largest to date!

 

Now in its 10th year, this edition will see 1-54 expand its dilating imprint upon the city by relocating to Chelsea, in the heart of Manhattan, once again coinciding with Frieze New York. The fair will be held at the Starrett-Lehigh Building, 255 11th Avenue for the first time, a premier property recognised as a creative campus for influential companies across fashion, entertainment, media, architecture and design.

This year’s fair represents a diverse selection of galleries from Lagos and Lausanne to Miami and London, including eight 1-54 participants making their debut at the fair. This expansion underscores the fair’s commitment to showcasing the richness and diversity of contemporary African art on a global stage.
