NADA
NADA New York 2026
Join us for NADA Presents at NADA New York, a series of daily conversations and performances showcasing leading voices in contemporary art and culture, developed in partnership with MacDowell, and ARTPOWER. Programming will take place on-site at the fair from May 13–17 at the Starrett-Lehigh building.

For this year’s edition, NADA in collaboration with MacDowell—the nation’s longest running residency—will present In Residence, a series of talks that bring together artists, institutional leaders, philanthropic partners, and cultural figures to examine artist residences. Conversations will range from how institutions can innovate to better serve artists’ evolving needs, to what meaningful sustainability looks like for both artists and institutions, to how residencies operating at different scales—local, national, global—can collaborate to strengthen the cultural ecosystem.

ARTPOWER, an artist-led company building the financial power of creative workers, will host a special live edition of the ARTPOWER Podcast during the fair.

Featured participants will include: Glenn Adamson, Alissa Alfonso, Natalia Almonte, Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, Mary-Kim Arnold, Danny Báez, Jen Clay, Michelle Santiago Cortés, Stevenson Dunn Jr., Anthony Elms, Gabriel Florenz, Kate Fowle, Sam Gill, Andrew Goldstein, Jackie Greenberg, Christopher Gregory-Rivera, Charlotte Grussing, Libertad Guerra, Frank Haines, Heather Hubbs, Chiwoniso Kaitano, Bora Kim, Minjae Kim, Eileen Kinsella, Gordon Knox, Eliot Krimsky, Antonio Del Valle Lago, Beck Lowry, Miguel Luciano, Katharina McCarty, Alva Mooses, Sarah Alice Moran, Natalia Nakazawa, Larissa De Jesús Negrón, Kristina Newman-Scott, Okwui Okpokwasili, Pat Oleszko, Mauricio Cortés Ortega, Anne Parke, Yasmin Ramirez, Stephen Reily, Laura Saenz, Natalia Viera Salgado, Juan Sanchez, Carina del Valle Schorske, Jean Shin, Eric Shiner, Ana Sokoloff, janera solomon, Katie Sonnenborn, Helen Stoilas, Brandon Stosuy, Kelly Tapia-Chuning, Edwin Torre, and Ayesha Williams.
