Held at the industrial-style event space ZeroSpace in Gowanus, the fair transforms the venue into a creative hub where artists directly present and sell work — often at accessible price points. With over 125 artists, the fair emphasizes discovery, youthful energy, and communal engagement.
In addition to artist booths, the fair includes participatory components such as live performances, talks, workshops, live painting sessions, and community programming. Many participating artists create special works and site-specific installations for this edition, reinforcing the fair’s reputation as a place for experimentation.
