let’s work together.
ARTVOICES is committed to fostering a deeper connection to an appreciation for meaningful contemporary art through a dynamic art fair experience in New Orleans a city internationally recognized for its rich architecture, music, cuisine, and cultural vitality.
ARTVOICES will bring together artists, galleries, collectors, curators, museums, institutions, critics, and the public within a welcoming environment that reflects the diversity, creativity, and spirit of our communities. Rooted in cultural dialogue and artistic excellence, the fair seeks to support artwork that is relevant, intellectually engaging, and socially resonant.
Our vision is to cultivate a collector base that values not only acquisition, but stewardship, collectors who understand their role in preserving culture, supporting artists, and sustaining artistic legacies for future generations. ARTVOICES aims to position itself among the leading international art fairs, alongside respected platforms such as Frieze, Art Basel, and The Armory Show, while maintaining a distinct identity grounded in the cultural landscape of New Orleans.
Through thoughtful curatorial programming, ARTVOICES will provide artists and galleries with opportunities for greater visibility, critical engagement, networking, and market expansion. We envision curators discovering artists presented at ARTVOICES for future inclusion in internationally recognized exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial, documenta, and the Venice Biennale.
ARTVOICES also seeks to encourage meaningful relationships between artists, institutions, museums, and collectors, supporting the acquisition of significant works that contribute to permanent collections and cultural preservation. By amplifying important artistic voices and exhibitions, the fair aspires to create broader awareness of the individuals and organizations shaping contemporary culture and enriching our collective understanding of the world around us.
At its core, ARTVOICES is about community, dialogue, and artists articulating the complexities of contemporary life through their work. It is a platform dedicated to discovery, education, and cultural exchange.
We look forward to welcoming you to ARTVOICES.
