New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of "Art X Fashion" with Elizabeth Way
2026-02-20 12:30 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | The Museum at FIT, 227 West 27th Street, New York, New York, 10001, United States
Join ArtTable at The Museum at FIT for a curator-led tour of Art X Fashion.

“This exhibition will garner strong opinions and spark lively dialogue, but whether you decide that fashion is art or not, fashion’s strong and mutual relationship with fine art is undeniable.” – Elizabeth Way, MFIT Curator of Costume and Accessories

The exhibition highlights how fashion is utilized as an expressive tool for artists, such as Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, and Sonia Delaunay, alongside designers like Scott Barrie and Hussein Chalayan who root their concepts deeply in their art education, while Fabrice Simon and Ralph Rucci are both painters as well as designers. Contemporary figures such as Cat Chow, Mary Ping, and Tavares Strachan exemplify the fluid, modern boundary that exemplifies how these worlds can merge.

Art X Fashion equally surveys the ways in which fashion has been inspired by fine art. Through examples from designers such as Gianni Versace and Franco Moschino, the exhibition spotlights ways that fashion has used odes to Pop Art classics as a means of commenting on consumer and celebrity culture. These replications of famous artworks on garments and accessories democratized these priceless masterpieces for a mass audience, lending value, recognition, and even humor to fashion pieces, but also adding cultural capital to the artworks. In some cases, such as with Grace Wales Bonner, the application of fine art to fashion extends the message of the original artist.

Elizabeth Way is curator of costume and accessories at The Museum at FIT, where her recent exhibitions include Black Fashion Designers (2016), Fabric In Fashion (2018), Head to Toe (2021), Fresh, Fly, and Fabulous: Fifty Years of Hip Hop Style (2023), Food & Fashion (2023), and Africa’s Fashion Diaspora (2024). She guest-curated Ann Lowe: American Couturier at Winterthur Museum Garden & Library (2023) and edited the books Black Designers in American Fashion (2021) and Ann Lowe: American Couturier (2023). Way holds an M.A. in costume studies from New York University and a doctorate in fashion curation from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of the "Whitney Biennial 2026" with Marcela C. Guerrero

Gather at the Whitney Museum of American Art for a guided tour of the Whitney Biennial 2026!

The eighty-second edition of the Whitney Biennial—the longest-running survey of contemporary art in the United States—features work of 56 artists, duos, and collectives that reflects the current moment and examines various forms of relationality, including interspecies kinships, familial relations, geopolitical entanglements, technological affinities, shared mythologies, and infrastructural supports.

Whitney Biennial 2026 offers a vivid atmospheric survey of contemporary American art shaped by a moment of profound transition. Rather than offering a definitive answer to life today, this Whitney Biennial foregrounds mood and texture, inviting visitors into environments that evoke tension, tenderness, humor, and unease. Together, the works capture the complexity of the present and propose imaginative, unruly, and unexpected forms of coexistence.

Marcela Guerrero is the DeMartini Family Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Alongside Drew Sawyer, Guerrero is the co-curator of the eighty-second edition of the Whitney Biennial—the longest-running survey of contemporary art in the United States. At the Whitney, Guerrero also curated no existe un mundo poshuracán: Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria and Martine Gutierrez: Supremacy in 2022-23, among other exhibitions. From 2014 to 2017, she was the Curatorial Fellow for Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985 organized at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Prior to joining the Hammer, she worked in the Latin American and Latino art department at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Guerrero’s writing has appeared in several exhibition catalogues and in art journals. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Guerrero holds a PhD in art history from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of "Carol Bove" with Katherine Brinson
2026-03-24 12:30 - 13:30 | The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 5th Ave, New York, New York, 10128

Carol Bove will be the first museum survey and largest presentation to date of the work of American artist Carol Bove. The exhibition will trace pivotal shifts across Bove’s 25-year career, ranging from her early drawings to a new, monumental series of her scrap metal and steel tubing compositions known as “collage sculptures.” The artist will also orchestrate a series of design interventions that subtly inflect the experience of navigating Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic rotunda, reflecting her longstanding interest in the way objects and images are transformed by their surroundings.

Bove’s inventive practice spans many mediums and formal approaches but is unified by an exacting play of material, scale, color, and space. She places these elements in dialogue with cultural histories and the viewer’s imagination to create the conditions for a resonant perceptual encounter—one that will function, in the words of the artist, as “a way of opening the world.”

Katherine Brinson joined the Guggenheim’s curatorial staff in 2005. She has curated and cocurated numerous exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and the former Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin, including Carol Bove (2026); Alex Katz: Gathering (2022–23); Etel Adnan: Light’s New Measure (2021–22); The Hugo Boss Prize 2020: Deana Lawson, Centropy (2021); The Hugo Boss Prize 2018: Simone Leigh (2019); Danh Vo: Take My Breath Away (2018); The Hugo Boss Prize 2016: Anicka Yi, Life Is Cheap (2017); Doris Salcedo (2015); Storylines (2015); The Hugo Boss Prize 2014: Paul Chan, Nonprojections for New Lovers (2015); Christopher Wool (2013–14); The Hugo Boss Prize 2012: Danh Vo (2013); The Hugo Boss Prize 2010: Hans-Peter Feldmann (2011); The Luminous Interval: The D.

She is one of the organizing curators for the museum’s International Directors Council.

New York, NY | MeetAT at Franklin Parrasch Gallery

Exhibition image of “Forty Years of This” at Franklin Parrasch Gallery

You’re invited to a New York MeetAT networking event on March 26, graciously hosted by Franklin Parrasch Gallery. Join us for an evening of light refreshments and engaging conversations with fellow ArtTable members and new connections.

About Franklin Parrasch Gallery:Franklin Parrasch Gallery began in 1986 with a program guided by a conscious reflection upon the process of creativity as it relates to human evolution.

Over the past four decades, the gallery has consistently organized shows that consider diverse evolutionary theories, with a focused sensitivity to the migration of ideas and aesthetic development as expressed by a wide range of artists who employ innovative practices.

As we embark upon our fortieth anniversary in 2026, we will present a series of exhibitions throughout the year thematically addressing diverse evolutionary theories as they manifest in the contemporary art discourse.

At the Franklin Parrasch Gallery:Forty Years of This… is a memoir of an ongoing effort. What began four decades ago as an improvised, underfunded, contrarian art venue experiment remains just that. Including works by: Peter Alexander, Billy Al Bengston, Forrest Bess, Kathy Butterly, John Cederquist, Tony DeLap, Ali Dipp, Mark Gonzales, Joe Goode, Francoise Grossen, Kristy Luck, John McCracken, John McLaughlin, Bruce Nauman, Ken Price, Charles Ross, Stephen Shore, Sylvia Snowden, Joan Snyder, Indivi sutton, Daniel Turner, and Peter Voulkos.

New York, NY | Exhibition Walkthrough at Pace Gallery
2026-03-31 18:00 - 19:00 | Pace Gallery, 540 W 25th St, New York, New York, 10001, United States
Join ArtTable at Pace Gallery for an exhibition walkthrough of Maysha Mohamedi: Maysha the Fool with Isabel Ross and Oliver Shultz.

Vibrant and playful, Maysha Mohamedi’s (b. 1980, Los Angeles) innovative practice points toward a new mode of atmospheric abstraction that registers certain conditions specific to Los Angeles—and American life as a whole—in the early twenty-first century. Reflecting her personal history and key constellations in her own cultural matrix, her palette is both purely abstract and directly connected to the patchwork of landscapes, objects, and environments that comprise her life. These range from an Ojai, California, playground the artist visited with her children to clippings from cookbooks and magazines and sea glass found on the shore. Mohamedi’s works are reflections of her own thinking, crystallized as moments of haptic communion. The artist’s academic background in neuroscience is found in the liveliness and expansiveness of her paintings. Liberated from the constraints and dictates of the three-dimensional world, her immersive works exude a sense of freedom and illimitability. For Mohamedi, the viewer is an equal creator in this shared universe of boundless possibilities.

Virtual | ArtTable’s Professional Development Series: Demystifying Appraisal Review with Susan McDonough
2026-04-13 14:00 - 15:00 | Virtual Via Zoom
This professional development program will explore the critical role of appraisal review in the fine art market, providing collectors, advisors, and legal professionals with essential insights into how this specialized process ensures the accuracy and credibility of fine art appraisals. Drawing upon her extensive experience as a Certified Member of the Appraisers Association of America and her role as an AQB Certified USPAP Instructor, Susan will cover:

Defining Appraisal Review: Understanding the act of developing an opinion about the quality of another appraiser’s work—distinct from simple fact-checking or administrative QC.

The Role of the Reviewer: Navigating the objective analysis of methodology, logic, and compliance with USPAP.

Strategic Benefits for Users: How appraisal reviews serve as a vital “check and balance” for fiduciaries, attorneys, accountants, managers, and executors managing collections and estates.

Risk Mitigation: Identifying common pitfalls in appraisal reports and how a second opinion can protect the integrity of financial and legal transactions.

Attendees will gain actionable knowledge to better manage their collections and navigate the complexities of art valuation with confidence. The session will include time for Q&A to address specific challenges related to audit, assurance, and litigation support.

The zoom link will be provided upon registration.

Susan McDonough, AAA, is a partner at the bicoastal appraisal firm Czudej McDonough. She has deep and extensive experience appraising artwork at the highest levels of the art market for insurance, donation, and tax & estate planning purposes. She specializes in complex valuation assignments and is a recognized authority on appraisal methodology; she was the Managing Editor for the Appraisers Association’s 2024 publication Appraising Art: The Definitive Guide and co-authored the article on “Appraisal Review.”An active educator, Susan is an AQB Certified USPAP Instructor and teaches Appraisal Writing for the Appraisers Association of America. She previously served on the Association’s Board of Directors (2014–2021) and was an adjunct professor at New York University’s Appraisal Studies Program.

New York, NY | Guided Tour of Onna House Soho
2026-04-16 12:30 - 13:30 | Soho, Full Address Provided Upon Registration, New York, New York
Gather at Onna House Soho for a guided tour and refreshments!

Spearheaded by Onna House founder Lisa Perry, this new experimental space will provide a platform to exclusively exhibit and celebrate women artists, while functioning as a site for communal gathering and an expansive series of events. This new location not only marks the continuation of Onna House’s specialization in works of craft, but also highlights Perry’s ongoing mission to support women’s rights in the art and design worlds.

The gallery, divided into several cozy rooms, has been imagined as the urban equivalent of Onna House in East Hampton. It features a central lounge area beneath a row of windows that fill the entire room with natural light, along with a tea room enclosed by shoji screens, which will anchor the main room. The tea room will also feature extensive wall space for the exhibition and display of unique works in ceramic by a rotating group of women artists. In addition to highlighting and collaborating with local, New York City-based artists, Onna House Soho will also oﬀer artist made jewelry and standout pieces of vintage furniture and accessories from a collection that Perry has built from her years of traveling. Adjoining the main room will be an additional gallery space where visitors may stumble upon an afternoon game of mahjong. Very much the game of the moment, Perry is carrying on a tradition and love of the game from her mother.

Porter, this panel brings together New York City-based visual arts professionals for a candid discussion about the challenges and unique opportunities of being mid-career. Panelists will share how they have navigated changing roles, institutional dynamics, compensation, sustainability, and the pressure of wondering, “what’s next?”

Our panelists will discuss practical strategies for avoiding burnout, advocating for oneself, defining success, and building community.

Join us for networking and refreshments from 6-6:30pm, with the panel discussion beginning at 6:30pm. There will be additional time for networking following the panel.

You’re invited to a Washington, D.C. MeetAT networking event on April 28, graciously hosted by NCO Gallery. Join us for an evening of light refreshments and engaging conversations with fellow ArtTable members and new connections.

About NCO Gallery: NCO Gallery, located in Blagden Alley, Washington, D.C., is a contemporary art space presenting international works with a strong emphasis on Cuban artists. Situated within one of the city’s most culturally active corridors, known for its murals and evolving creative landscape, the gallery engages its surroundings as part of its broader curatorial context. The program operates at the intersection of exhibition and cultural production, with a focus on expanding the visibility of artists working across diverse global contexts. In addition to exhibitions, NCO presents a range of programming, including live music, screenings, and intimate gatherings, that position the space as an active site for dialogue and exchange. Through both independent projects and collaborations with local and institutional partners, the gallery contributes to ongoing conversations within the city’s cultural fabric, developing presentations that are immersive, context-driven, and responsive to place.

The gallery is founded and directed by Natalie O’Connor, a Gallerist and Curator whose work centers on cross-cultural exchange and the introduction of artists from developing regions to U.S. audiences. She has organized exhibitions across Cuba, Lebanon, Florida, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., and spent five years with the World Bank Art Program contributing to large-scale multidimensional exhibitions. Of Cuban-Irish descent, her perspective is informed by a longstanding engagement with international contemporary art.

At NCO Gallery:UNVEILED presents the nude human form as a raw and intentional means of expression. Rooted in a long artistic tradition, the body has served for centuries as a powerful vehicle for communication, long before it became narrowly framed through taboo or sexualization. In this exhibition, the figure is not offered for consumption, but for engagement, standing as a site of strength, vulnerability, resistance, and belief.

This group exhibition reflects a range of perspectives that use the human form to articulate personal, cultural, and social realities. Whether working from their own bodies or those of their subjects, the artists expose more than physical presence. They reveal positions shaped by history, environment, identity, and human experience, using the body as a direct and uncompromising medium.

Across these works, the nude emerges as an act of assertion rather than spectacle. It becomes a language through which resilience, resistance, and humanity are not merely depicted, but embodied, inviting viewers to reconsider the body as a site of meaning, affirmation, and enduring expressive power.

Featured Artists: René Peña, Néstor Arenas, Sándor González Vilar, Omar Tirado, Yari Rassi and Su_ayma Parra
