Verge NYC
Verge NYC, New York
For its 4th year, the fair returns to Manhattan to present an international roster of galleries in a nearly ten thousand square foot ground-level facility in the Greenwich Village neighborhood. An ongoing experiment in art, markets, and ideas.
"Verge is an international platform for the most exciting and interesting in new and emerging art. Verge exists to establish boundaries of the extraordinary as a counter to the natural compulsion towards stagnation in the way art is evaluated and delivered to the public. Staying true to this necessary state for the advancement of art requires a sustained focus on the best new ideas and practices of those marginal or newly emerging to international art audiences. The satisfaction of this fixed requirement for a healthy and competitive artistic culture is at the core of Verge as an international exposition of the highest quality artistic production and the galleries, museums and audiences who sustain it."
Verge is an ongoing experiment in art, markets, ideas and the art culture.

Admission during general operating hours is free to the public, providing exhibitors access to a robust and affluent Manhattan audience of collectors and press.
