"Art on Paper returns to Manhattan's Lower East Side in March 2016, building on the success of the fair's inaugural 2015 edition. The first Art on Paper New York welcomed 20,000 visitors to Pier 36 over the fair's four buzzing days. Participating galleries saw strong sales to important collections as the public urgently engaged with the curated exhibitions. The fair's medium-driven focus lent itself to significant projects - unique moments that set Art on Paper apart and established a new and important destination for the arts in New York City. Working in concert with Beneficiary Partner Brooklyn Museum, Creative Director Sasha Wolf, and sponsor The Wall Street Journal, Art on Paper's second edition will feature special projects that push the boundaries of its celebrated medium."
