Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory November 4th through 8th with collectible furniture, fine art, ceramics, jewelry, antiquities, and contemporary design from galleries around the world.

Salon Art + Design returns to New York this November, with the 2026 fair scheduled for November 4th through 8th at the Park Avenue Armory. The event brings vintage, modern, and contemporary design together with blue-chip 20th-century art, so furniture shares the Armory with ceramics, sculpture, lighting, jewelry, antiquities, textiles, and other collectible work.

Last year’s 14th edition brought more than 50 exhibitors from 11 countries to New York, and 11 participated for the first time. With eclectic exhibitors, the 2025 roster included galleries devoted to French decorative arts, Brazilian furniture, contemporary Japanese ceramics and metalwork, African art, antiquities, jewelry, Scandinavian design, American modern furniture, paintings, and sculpture. Salon hasn’t published the 2026 gallery roster yet, so those names are helpful context rather than a preview of exactly who will be at the Armory this November.

Several parts of the 2026 schedule are confirmed now. First Look opens the fair on November 4th and benefits Dia Art Foundation, public hours begin November 6th, and Salon Conversations will return. There’s also a Salon exhibition at Bergdorf Goodman through August 31st, with six galleries participating several months before the November fair.

Salon Focuses on Collectible Art and Design

Salon describes its New York fair around vintage, modern, and contemporary collectible design alongside 20th-century artwork. Exhibitors come from both art and design, which explains why the floor can include a midcentury chair, contemporary ceramic sculpture, an antiquity, a piece of jewelry, and a painting within the same fair. Participation is curated and invitation-only.

The 2025 exhibitor list had more than 50 galleries and dealers. Galerie Marcilhac represented 20th-century French decorative arts, while Converso Modern focused on American modern design and work connected to names like George Nakashima, Phillip Lloyd Powell, and Paul Evans. Bossa Furniture presented Brazilian design, Hostler Burrows represented Scandinavian design and contemporary studio ceramics, and Onishi Gallery brought contemporary Japanese work in metal, lacquer, porcelain, and ceramics.

Phoenix Ancient Art represented antiquities, while galleries and dealers like DYNE, Rosior, Fernando Jorge, Yvel, Elisabetta Cipriani, and Cora Sheibani Jewels added a substantial jewelry component to the 2025 fair. Last year’s roster also included fine art galleries, book dealers, African art specialists, contemporary design galleries, and dealers working across several periods.

Interior Designers Have a Formal Role at Salon

Salon also has a Design + Art Advisory Council made up of interior designers and art advisors. The current council includes Ariel Ashe, Jeremiah Brent, Rafael de Cárdenas, Christine Gachot, Shawn Henderson, Nicole Hollis, David Kleinberg, Andre Mellone, Suchi Reddy, Sara Story, Pierre Yovanovitch, Kelly Behun, Julie Hillman, Young Huh, Jay Jeffers, and others.

The council reflects how closely Salon connects galleries with the interior design profession. Collectible furniture and art are already part of the sourcing process for many residential and hospitality projects, particularly when designers are working with vintage pieces, commissions, limited editions, decorative arts, or objects that aren’t available through a conventional showroom.

The 2026 Exhibitor List Is Still to Come

Salon’s website currently directs visitors to the 2025 Galleries & Exhibitions page and the 2025 catalog. The organization is accepting exhibitor applications for this November, so we don’t yet have a complete 2026 list to work through.

Some individual gallery pages on Salon’s site now display the November 4th through 8th, 2026 fair dates in the page header, but the main On View page is still explicitly labeled 2025. Until Salon publishes a new roster, it would be premature to treat individual 2025 exhibitors as confirmed for this year.

Special Design Exhibitions Were a Big Part of the 2025 Fair

Gallery booths were only one part of last year’s program. Salon listed 11 Special Design Exhibitions with The Alpha Workshops, Donghia, Mathieu Lehanneur, Mary Wallis Studio, Color Atelier, Female Design Council, LES Collection, Victoria Yakusha Gallery, De La Vega, Virginia Harper Design, and Cora Sheibani Jewels.

Those projects gave contemporary designers, studios, organizations, and brands separate spaces within the Armory. Salon hasn’t announced the 2026 special exhibitions yet, so this is another part of the program we’ll know more about closer to November. Last year’s list covered lighting, furniture, architectural finishes, jewelry, textiles, and work from independent designers alongside the main gallery presentations.

Salon Is at Bergdorf Goodman Through August 31st

Salon already has a 2026 exhibition underway in New York. Its second annual collaboration with Bergdorf Goodman runs June 22nd through August 31st on the store’s seventh floor at 754 Fifth Avenue.

Six galleries are involved this year: De La Vega, ETĒLINE, Hostler Burrows, Liz O’Brien, Onishi Gallery, and Wexler Gallery. The installation includes contemporary ceramics, Japanese art, modern and midcentury furniture, and decorative objects. Take a look at the August show below!

The Six Galleries Cover Very Different Parts of the Market

Hostler Burrows works with Scandinavian design and studio ceramics, while Onishi Gallery represents contemporary Japanese artists working in metal, lacquer, porcelain, and ceramics. Liz O’Brien specializes in American and European 20th-century decorative arts and contemporary design, with furniture, art objects, and textiles among the gallery’s specialties.

ETĒLINE focuses on French artists, designers, and makers. Wexler Gallery works across craft, art, and design, while Brooklyn-based De La Vega produces contemporary furniture and decorative work. The Bergdorf installation closes a little more than two months before Salon opens at the Armory.

Salon Conversations Will Return

Salon Conversations is the fair’s panel program, with discussions that bring together designers, curators, gallerists, editors, art advisers, auction specialists, and other people working across art and design. The current Salon Conversations page still lists the 2025 program, so speaker names and topics for November 2026 haven’t been announced. Admission to the conversations is included for fair ticket holders.

Last year’s discussions covered museum collecting, mentorship among gallerists, the state of the art and design market, and the relationship between architect Stanford White and sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Participants represented MoMA, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Sotheby’s, the Female Design Council, private galleries, and art advisory firms.

Museum Design Collections Were Part of Last Year’s Program

One 2025 panel brought together Alisa Chiles of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Rachel Delphia of the Carnegie Museum of Art, and Paul Galloway of MoMA. James Zemaitis moderated the discussion, which focused on how museums develop their permanent design collections and make acquisition decisions.

Another panel paired established and newer gallerists for a conversation about mentorship, while a market discussion included Sotheby’s chairman Jodi Pollack, gallerist Jill Newhouse, and dealer Dana Kraus. Salon hasn’t indicated whether any of those programs will return in the same form for 2026.

Opening Events Begin November 4th

The first scheduled event for the 2026 fair is First Look, which takes place Wednesday, November 4th from 4:30 to 9 p.m. and benefits Dia Art Foundation. The invitation-only Collectors Vernissage begins at 6 p.m. that night.

Thursday, November 5th is reserved for invited collectors and VIPs. The Collectors Preview runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by the VIP Preview from 1 to 7 p.m. Public hours begin the next morning.

Public Hours Begin Friday, November 6th

The fair is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Salon hasn’t published 2026 ticket prices yet, and its current ticket page says admission information will be available soon.

The Park Avenue Armory is located at 643 Park Avenue between East 66th and 67th Streets. Salon has used the Upper East Side venue since the fair began. The building was originally constructed for New York’s Seventh Regiment of the National Guard and now operates as a visual and performing arts institution.

A Few Details About the Armory Before Your Visit

Salon has a specific bag policy that’s worth knowing before you get there. Backpacks, messenger bags, briefcases, umbrellas, coats, and satchels larger than 9 x 4 x 12 inches have to go to the complimentary coat check. Smaller handbags are permitted, though personal bags, purchases, and delivery packages may be inspected. Artwork can only enter the fair with a badged exhibitor.

The Armory has an assisted-access entrance at 103 East 66th Street, and wheelchairs are available by request. The closest subway stations listed by Salon are the 6 train at 68th Street/Hunter College and the F or Q trains at 63rd Street/Lexington Avenue. The M101, M102, M103, and M66 buses stop nearby, and there is a Citi Bike station at 67th Street and Park Avenue.

Salon Art + Design 2026 runs November 4th through 8th, with public access November 6th through 8th. We know the preview schedule, public hours, Bergdorf Goodman exhibition, and location now. The gallery roster, special design exhibitions, Salon Conversations schedule, and public ticket prices are still pending.

Last year, designers could see French decorative arts, American modern furniture, contemporary Japanese ceramics, antiquities, jewelry, studio furniture, fine art, and special installations during the same fair. Once Salon publishes the 2026 roster, we’ll have a much better idea of which galleries, designers, artists, and makers will define this November’s edition.
