Smith + Associates, this year’s fair will see more than 50 international exhibitors bringing vintage, modern, and contemporary design and a selection of 20th-century art, displayed across immersive gallery presentations and joined by a roster of special exhibitions and the platform Salon Conversations.

“We want Salon to provide a sense of discovery for our audiences, which includes both seasoned and entry-level collectors alike,” said Jill Bokor, Executive Director of Salon Art + Design. “While Salon is known for showing some of the most world-renowned galleries in design, we also want the fair to serve as a platform for burgeoning galleries who are showcasing some of the most cutting-edge design, whether that be vintage, modern or contemporary. We’re excited for our visitors to reconnect with the galleries one may expect at the fair, while also discovering the new and unexpected.”
