Kicking off the Contemporary Art Auction sales coming up in the NYC, is the prestigious and highly anticipated The Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) will celebrate its 60th anniversary and will host The Art Show Benefit Preview in support of the Henry Street Settlement, the social services organization that has aided New Yorkers in need for nearly 130 years. The 2022 edition takes place in the historic Park Avenue Armory, and will run from November 3-6. This year, The Art Show will feature a record number of booths from 78 ADAA member galleries. Of these, an impressive 56 booths will feature solo presentations that explore the work of just one artist, allowing visitors thoughtful, curated experiences akin to those found in galleries––also a record for the fair.

Each year, Henry Street Settlement directly supports 50,000 New Yorkers in need through its education, employment, shelter, health and wellness, and arts programs. The Art Show has raised more than $35 million over the course of the past three decades and continues to be Henry Street's greatest source of unrestricted funding. All admission fees from the run-of-show go to Henry Street Settlement, along with the proceeds from its Benefit Preview gala evening, one of New York society's most cherished annual events. The Benefit Preview is attended by thousands of national and international collectors, philanthropists, business leaders, museum directors, and curators whose ticket purchases, contributions, and sponsorship provide vital funding for Henry Street programs for New Yorkers in need.

Founded in 1989 and organized annually by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA), and benefitting Henry Street Settlement, one of New York's leading social service, arts, and health care organizations, The Art Show brings together the country's top galleries, all of which are ADAA members, to showcase incisively curated exhibitions of both historical and contemporary works.

With a history of programming that ranges from artist performances to dynamic keynote presentations, The Art Show provides its audience with a wide scope of cultural experiences, meaningful interactions, and illuminating exposure to phenomenal artwork.

The Benefit Preview is attended by a global audience of collectors as well as philanthropic and business leaders, whose generosity directly supports Henry Street Settlement's life-changing programs. As Henry Street Settlement's greatest source of unrestricted funding, The Art Show has raised over $35 million for the nonprofit through more than three decades of partnership between the two organizations. The collaboration between the ADAA and Henry Street allows for the creation of an unparalleled art experience that supports vital services for over 50,000 New Yorkers each year.
