Returning this year is the TD Curated Spotlight, a flagship initiative expanding access for participating galleries and artists, organized by Anthony Elms, Artistic Director at the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh. Programming for NADA Presents, the organization’s signature series of conversations, performances, and events, will be presented throughout the weekend.
“NADA New York continues to be one of the most exciting platforms for discovery during New York's art week, and this year's edition returning to the iconic Starrett-Lehigh reflects that spirit. We're proud to present a community of galleries doing some of today's most compelling work, with TD Bank's Curated Spotlight, this year organized by Anthony Elms, helping NADA do more for the spaces it champions. There is a lot more to come from NADA this spring,” said NADA Executive Director Heather Hubbs.

NADA New York is an extension of the organization’s commitment to the city, both as the cultural mecca in which the association’s headquarters and exhibition space are located, as well as a global epicenter of emerging and established artists. This March, the New Art Dealers Alliance hosted NADA Ceramics, a curated art and design showcase that featured the work of over 40 artists and galleries at The Locker Room in Tribeca. In December, the organization will present the 24th edition of NADA Miami.
