Independent New York

Description

The critically acclaimed contemporary art fair will return to Spring Studios in Tribeca with 64 galleries and non-profit institutions from over 19 international cities.

This year 15% of proceeds raised from Independent New York ticket sales will be donated to New York-based non-profit White Columns, New York’s oldest alternative art space that provides support to artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial attention. Over the past forty-six years, hundreds of artists have benefited from early exposure and support at White Columns, including Gordon Matta-Clark, Barry Le Va, Kiki Smith, William Wegman, Sonic Youth, Jack Goldstein, David Wojnarowicz, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Cady Noland, ACT-UP, and Glenn Ligon, among many others. Since 2005 alone, White Columns has presented the work of more than 500 artists—of all generations—in more than 100 individual exhibitions and projects.
