This was a wonderful experience. The art was interesting and often very beautiful. The gallery representatives and the artists who were present were pleasant and informative.
I think the bad reviews of this fair are due to the very relative nature of the term, "affordable." Fortunately the reviews I read prepared me for the fact that very little is under $500; a number of the works are around $1500 and some of the art can go up to $10,000.
No, this isn't necessarily what many of us would consider inexpensive.
However, if one has spent some time looking at art, and the cost

This was the absolute worst!
I paid around $100 to be one of the first people in there and it was insanely CROWDED
The "fair" is VERY SMALL
The prices are NOT AFFORDABLE, in fact it was EXPENSIVE.
I would not go back to this event. I would never pay to go and could not encourage you to save your money anymore than this. What a complete waste!
100% disappointing
Whoever is responsible for this show should be beyond ashamed of themselves they are nothing more than an opportunistic deceptive thief.

My friends found this art fair, and since I was already checking out Chelsea galleries I thought "why not." Tickets are $20 for access to two levels of art, with maybe a hundred vendors. It was packed, and took us nearly 15 minutes to get in (our line was apparently credit card only, with no signs or helpers indicating that).
There are some high end works (Anish Kapoor and the like), but most were newcomers. Works tended to wall mounted and painted / sculpted rather than photography or prints. It's less conceptual and more figural and approachable. One of my separated friends texted

This Art Fair is one of my favorites in NYC. Lots of opportunities to go for free and during evening hours. Cutting edge contemporary works from galleries both local and international. Very well put together. Visually compelling and some interesting art talks also. Keep in mind that affordable means $10K and under.

This was my first time going to this fair and i was very impressed by the pieces. i of course can't afford any of it ha! but it was nice to see an opening for a change. i never get to go to the great art openings in the city. staff was very friendly. bathrooms are clean. some of the galleries r kinda of snooty but i guess thats how most of them are. it was fun and i def. would go again.

I enjoyed coming to the Metropolitan Pavilion for this event. I fell in love with a few pieces of art. Couldn't afford them, but I was able to take a few photos and talk to the people selling them.
Not really affordable for me, at all. But I did see several older people buying art.
There were 2 levels of art. My friend and I wished that there were more. Maybe a third floor. There are SO many amazing artists in NYC they could have definitely had another level filled up.
Overall a good experience. I would not pay the $20 admission again, though.

I've been to this event 4 years in a row and although they have some cool stuff, mostly in the modern and contemporary genre, it's getting a little stale. I actually lost count of the amount of lithographs/silkscreens etc. of Marilyn Monroe this year- Andy Warhol obviously inspired a huge body of work by many other people, but I'd like to see the curators innovate and move on a bit from there.
"Affordable" is relative, so if $5-10k is in your price range it's likely you'll find something of interest. The catch being that many of these artists are unknown and

This is first of all a SCENE. It is just a fun place to visit. The artwork is mostly quite good, often very innovative - often magnificent!!! - and there is a cafe area with sandwiches, coffee, beer and wine -- and fun people watching, even a bit of socializing :-) It is incredibly well organized.
- Wednesday evening is "private viewing" for an extra fee, you get early access to view the artwork.
- Thursday evening there is a cocktail hour, complementary cocktails for an extra fee
- Friday evening there is a two hour period where admission is free!
- Saturday and Sunday vary in

I have had such a good time at every AAF event I've attended. The artwork is mostly done by local artists and all of the work is super modern. The venue at the Metropolitan Pavilion allows for excellent lighting and space.
If you want to have the best experience you need to go as early as possible. It can get very crowded as most of the events start around 7pm during the week so I assume everyone comes straight from work. They often give away goodie bags with different products and post cards with art work. If you get there even an hour after it opens they will probably all be gone. This

First things first. If you want to find something good and at a good price, make sure you go early. By the last day, there are still very good pieces, but not at very good prices.
I first went to the Fair a few years ago. Don't get this review wrong. If they called it just an art fair, I would have rated them higher. Half the galleries are outside the U.S. (and they aren't coming all this way to sell you something affordable or at a good price). The quality is very good though.
I brought back a few cards and a phone full of pictures to look though and see what I like (you can go to

Went to the Affordable Art Fair Sunday. What a joke, prices were not affordable. I was at the Art Expo a few weeks back and prices were similar to those at the Affordable Art Fair. The under $500 section was sad (they had it on a wall by the entrance). And there weren't even that many pieces for under $1,000. Typical prices were a few thousand, with many of the larger pieces $5,000-$10,000.
I would not say that any of these prices, the fair should have been termed affordable.
And also, it was crowded, and when I got my tickets, I didn't get a map of the fair, so we were wandering

Went to the annual affordable art fair this past weekend. The variety and quality of the art work is really stunning. Wouldn't call it affordable in the strict sense of the word, but it's affordable for people who can afford art. A typical piece sells for $2-3K. The under $1K section is limited, and the under $500 section is mainly small (smaller than 8''x10'') pieces. By the time we went on the second-to-last day, there was still lots of beautiful stuff.
Recommend going early in the morning since crowds do tend to pick up later in the afternoon.

My boyfriend and I went to the fair on its last day this past Sunday. A lot of art seemed to have been sold by this time. The price points of the artwork left was still not too affordable (would be best to come early if indeed the pieces that were bought in the first few days of the fair were more affordable). Would recommend getting there on the first day for anyone interested in going the next time it comes around.
