Check out the Volta art fair this week

February 28, 2017

Tomorrow evening, the Volta New York art fair launches for previews and VIPs (the fair will be open to the public from March 2nd to the 5th). In a sea of New York art fairs, Volta stands out with its specificity of purpose—it highlights solo art projects, truly putting the spotlight on the artists. The fair was founded at Basel in 2005 and it first came to New York in 2008, but it still retains its original purpose: to be a fair "by galleries, for galleries."

This is Volta's ten year anniversary, so we would imagine that they're going to go all out. The fair is located at Pier 90, and it will play host to works from 96 galleries from five continents and 36 cities. Woah. Get ready for a feast for the eyes.

Volta is open to the public at Pier 90 on March 2nd-4th from 12 PM - 8 PM, and on March 5th from 12 PM - 5 PM. Get your tickets here.
