After a first notable participation in 2024, Galerie L'art de vivre is pleased to announce its return to the Affordable Art Fair in New York , which will be held from September 16 to 20, 2026 at the Starrett-Lehigh Building, in the Chelsea district.
This new presence on the international scene marks an important step in the development of the gallery and in the promotion of the Quebec artists we have the privilege of representing.
A first step in New York in 2024
When we participated in the Affordable Art Fair for the first time in 2024, we approached the experience with enthusiasm, but also with a degree of uncertainty. Presenting the work of Quebec artists in New York represented an ambitious challenge for a young, independent gallery based in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region.
This first participation allowed us to introduce our artists to an international audience of collectors, art professionals, and visitors from all over the world. Beyond the sales made, this experience was rich in encounters, exchanges, and learning.
She confirmed the relevance of our approach: to offer a selection of contemporary works that are accessible, authentic and profoundly human.
A second participation focused on the future
Building on this first experience, we return to New York with a renewed selection that reflects the diversity and quality of contemporary Quebec creation.
This year, we will present the works of nine artists whose unique approaches explore colour, matter, territory, memory, gesture and emotion:
-
Dominique Desmeules
-
Kathleen Roby
-
Frédérique Girard
-
Manon Creusot
-
Louise Binet
-
Stéphanie Viens
-
Hien-Tu
-
Camille Gravel
-
Julie Beauchemin
Brought together in the same space, their works will offer visitors a sensitive and current perspective on contemporary Quebec creation.
Since its founding in 2022, Galerie L'art de vivre has made it its mission to make contemporary art accessible while supporting artists whose work deserves to be discovered beyond our region.
Participating in the Affordable Art Fair is a direct reflection of this desire to build bridges between local artists and collectors from elsewhere. Each exhibition, each meeting, and each fair contributes to circulating the artworks, the ideas, and the stories they embody.
We are proud to continue this adventure and to bring the voice of these artists to an international stage.
Thank you to the artists for your trust!
New York, here we come again!
