Independent Art Fair returns for its 11th edition in New York March 5-8.

Independent was founded in 2010, with the aim to inspire relevant art encounters for a well-informed and devoted Contemporary Art audience. Over the last decade, Independent has created an internationally-recognized platform for galleries, that prioritizes discovery and context, in contrast to the standard commercial fair. Due to Independent’s unique model, the audience is tailored to connoisseur-based collectors and institutions. In its 11th edition, Independent returns to Spring Studios this March bringing together over 60 international galleries and non-profit organizations. By supporting a focused range of established, innovative and emerging as well as outsider art and design, Independent aims to present a true reflection of the fabric of the global art community.

For the second year running, 15% of proceeds raised from Independent New York ticket sales will be donated to New York-based non-profit White Columns, New York’s oldest alternative art space that provides support to artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial attention. Over the past forty-six years, hundreds of artists have benefited from early exposure and support at White Columns, including Gordon Matta-Clark, Barry Le Va, Kiki Smith, William Wegman, Sonic Youth, Jack Goldstein, David Wojnarowicz, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Cady Noland, ACT-UP, and Glenn Ligon, among many others. Since 2005 alone, White Columns has presented the work of more than 500 artists—of all generations—in more than 100 individual exhibitions and projects.
