Summary
In this episode of The Truth In This Art, Rachel Mijares-Fick returns to the program. About Rachel Mijares-Fick: Rachel co-founded Future Fair back in 2020 during the pandemic with Rebeca Laliberte. Future Fair is an art fair in New York where galleries, artist collectives, and independent curators from around the world come to set up exhibitions. The fair spotlights emerging and under-recognized voices in the art world. Over six years, it's launched careers for artists and dealers and become a real part of the fabric of New York's art scene. We talk about the fair's sixth edition happening at Chelsea Industrial—a ground floor venue on the corner of 28th and 11th in Chelsea. Exhibitors include Wondering People from London, under the pale blue from Ridgewood, and Wishbone Gallery from Montreal. Rachel also breaks down Future Talks, a new conversation series supported by ArtLogic that brings together rising voices in the art world—artists, collectors, curators, dealers, and funders—to discuss topics like "The Future Economy of the Artist Studio," which looks at how artists are actually sustaining their practices as the old models shift. We get into why people still want to experience art in person—to see the brushstrokes, feel the physicality of what artists make, and experience that magic that happens when people are together in a space. Future Fair creates that kind of environment: warm, welcoming, open. It's intentional, intimate, and accessible in a way that makes contemporary art feel conversational instead of intimidating. Future Fair runs May 13-16, 2026 (Wednesday through Saturday) at Chelsea Industrial, corner of 28th and 11th in Chelsea — FutureFairs.com --- If you're in New York this May, check out Future Fair, the forward-thinking contemporary art fair return…
