About
The International Caribbean Art Fair
Building on the success of its New York City debut in 2007, the International Caribbean Art Fair (ICAFairTM) returns in a major expansion hosted at The Tunnel in the Chelsea gallery district.
Originally a train tunnel from the early 1900s, this distinctive space is best known as a popular -- some would say notorious -- NYC nightclub in the 1990s. The space is now at the center of the New York art scene, surrounded by more than 200 art galleries and located just a few blocks from the Chelsea Piers and the Jacob Javits Convention Center. With an area of over 22,000 square-feet and 20-foot ceilings, The Tunnel boasts an open layout spanning an entire city block. Coupled with the convenience of ample loading docks for easy access, The Tunnel is the ideal space for what promises to be a large and vibrant art fair.
ICAFairTM is a first-of-its-kind expo exclusively featuring artworks by Caribbean artists—either living in or outside of the Caribbean islands. It will bring together more than 40 distinguished galleries and artists representing the best in Caribbean art.
New and established collectors can expect to find quality original paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, and limited edition prints amongst our exhibitors.
The fair will offer the public a rare opportunity to see and purchase high-quality art that are as provocative, valuable, complex, and as beautiful as other geographically-based art categories—namely, European Art, Asian Art, Latin American Art, and African American Art.
