Fall is when the contemporary art world comes alive in New York City — and there’s no better way to experience it than with a curated weekend that combines exclusive art access, meaningful community, and culinary delights.

We’ve designed the ultimate Armory Art Weekend staycation: three days of discovery that take you from a private collection in Tribeca to the global stage of The Armory Show, and finally to the more bohemian spirit of Art on Paper.

This isn’t just about seeing art — it’s about experiencing the city’s cultural magic with a community of like-minded explorers. Join us for one, two, or all three days and immerse yourself in the creative energy that takes over NYC each September.

• Access to an exclusive and rarely-open art collection

• Admission to & curated walkthroughs of the two primary fall fairs (the Armory show & Art on Paper)

• Brunches & dinners at iconic NYC restaurants

• Connection with a community of curious, culture-loving explorers
