Inside the Armory Show: Private Tour + Rooftop Brunch

Join us on Saturday, September 26 for a curated look at one of the biggest and most exciting events on NEW YORK City’s fall art calendar! ​The Armory Show is New York’s flagship international fair for modern and contemporary art, bringing approximately 230 galleries from more than 30 countries together under one roof for just four days. ​The fair offers an exhilarating snapshot of the artists, galleries, ideas, and movements shaping the contemporary art world—but with so much to see, it can also feel overwhelming to navigate alone. ​Instead, we’ll experience the fair together, exploring a curated selection of standout booths, solo presentations, emerging galleries, and large-scale installations while discussing the artists and trends generating conversation across the art world. ​The 2026 edition places a special emphasis on artistic perspectives from the Caribbean and its diasporas, alongside an expanded selection of emerging galleries, individual artist presentations, and work from across the Americas and beyond. ​Before entering the fair, we’ll get to know one another over a rooftop brunch at the beautiful Electric Lemon on the 24th floor of the Equinox Hotel with sweeping views of Manhattan. ​This event is for you if you’re interested in: ​Discovering established and emerging contemporary artists from around the world ​Learning more about the art market in an approachable, engaging setting ​Exploring a major international art fair without having to navigate it alone ​Sharing culinary delights and meaningful conversation with other culture-loving women ​This intimate experience is available to only 10 Art-full members and is expected to sell out, so reserve your place early! ​Please note: ​All tickets include admission to The Armory Show and our curated walk-through. ​Full Experience tickets also include one brunch entrée, one non-alcoholic beverage, tax, and gratuity at Electric Lemon. ​Alcohol and any additional food or beverages must be purchased separately on-site. ——— ​Full Event Schedule ​11:30 AM | Rooftop Brunch at Electric Lemon Equinox Hotel | 33 Hudson Yards, 24th Floor ​1:15 PM | Meet at The Armory Show if not attending brunch Javits Center | 429 11th Avenue ​1:30 PM | Curated Armory Show Walk-Through ​2:30 PM | Optional Regrouping at the Fair’s Champagne Bar Continue exploring independently or reconnect with the group for further conversation. ​——— ​Tickets for Non-members: ​Fair Admission + Curated Walk-Through: $120 first release; $125 full price​ Tickets for Art-full members:* ​Fair Admission + Curated Walk-Through: $110 first release; $115 full price ​Full Experience with Brunch: $150 first release; $155 full price ​Full Experience tickets include one brunch entrée, tax/tip, and gratuity.
