Arrival is an invitational, biannual art fair situated in the Berkshires mountains of western Massachusetts, equidistant from New York City and Boston. Founded as an antidote to the frenetic pace of the art fair circuit, the inaugural edition features exhibitors from across the United States, nominated by an esteemed team of Curatorial Ambassadors. Cultural partnerships with nearby institutions – MASS MoCA, Williams College Museum of Art, The Clark Art Institute, and more – are central to the experience of Arrival.

Arrival Curatorial Ambassador
“Arrival feels so aligned with the priorities of this moment — a collaborative venture to share contemporary creative voices in local and regional contexts. And the icing on the cake — all of it driven by a fiscally sponsored non-profit model, woman-centered vision that puts community first.”

"Congratulations to the co-founders of Arrival, an innovative, fiscally sponsored non-profit fair model which will launch in full form next summer at TOURISTS, the hip hotel in North Adams, Massachusetts. Arrival is a mission driven engagement with a focus on curatorial and institutional acquisitions. It will harness the brain trusts of Williams College, New York and Boston, and beyond. Watch this space!”
