About the The Affordable Art Fair New York 2025
The Affordable Art Fair New York Fall 2025 promises to be one of the city’s most thrilling editions. From September 17 to 21, 2025, thousands of art lovers will gather at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in Chelsea to explore over 85 local, national, and international galleries. The fair presents a diverse, curated selection of artworks. Paintings, sculpture, photography, and mixed media priced between US$100 and $12,000 create a welcoming environment for both seasoned collectors and newcomers.
Notably, industry reports indicate that collectors of all experience levels gravitate towards emerging artists. The 2025 Artsy Art Market Trends Report highlights that emerging artists rank highest among collectors’ interests, surpassing established and mid-career artists. The Affordable Art Fair features only living artists, with over one-third being emerging or early-career.
We have selected three artists to check out during this Fall edition!
Anne-Laurence Garceau (Arteria Gallery) at The Affordable Art Fair New York 2025
Anne-Laurence Garceau, a self-taught artist based in Québec, radiates elegance and spirituality in her work. She creates pieces rooted in the duality of black and white, minimalism, and emotional expression. Her paintings, which serve as meditative experiences, explore identity and spirit. Each brushstroke and line reflects careful thought. Since returning to painting in 2017, Garceau has built momentum, creating works from small to larger, powerful compositions.
For AAFNY viewers, her art provides visual beauty and a chance for reflection, appealing to collectors who appreciate minimalist emotional depth.
Eva Ray (Cube Gallery) at The Affordable Art Fair New York 2025
Eva Ray, an emerging artist from Kent, UK, draws inspiration from landscapes, natural forms, and travels—especially in India, where she studies mural and fresco techniques. Her creative process begins with soft and oil pastels on paper or wooden panels, followed by paint. This layered approach results in texture-rich paintings. Works like Camber Gorse and Folk Meadow reflect her love for natural motifs and translate observations into grounded yet ethereal compositions.
For collectors attracted to color and a sense of place, Ray’s work offers warmth and subtle complexity.
Sena Shah (Azart Gallery) at The Affordable Art Fair New York 2025
Sena Shah‘s pieces stand out through geometric abstraction, optical effects, and bold colors. Working mainly with felt fabric and reflective materials, Shah creates art that shifts with the observer’s movement, offering a dynamic visual experience. His practice draws influence from post-war abstraction and Op Art, resembling the works of Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely. This interplay of texture, light, geometry, and viewer movement captivates art enthusiasts. Shah has showcased his work at various Affordable Art Fair events and steadily builds his profile through gallery shows and commissions.
At AAFNY, his work likely attracts collectors seeking vibrant, dynamic art that surpasses a static image.
Why These Artists Matter
These three artists highlight different yet complementary paths that many collectors seek today: a minimal contemplative journey (Garceau), a nature-inspired textured vision (Ray), and a bold geometric abstraction (Shah). Each offers something unique, aligning with the contemporary demand for accessible and emotionally resonant art, fostering personal connection.
