A Centennial of Contemporary Art: The Armory Show Comes to NYC's Far West Side

Beginning Thursday, March 7, through Sunday, March 10, The Armory Show at Piers 92 and 94 (52nd Street and 12th Avenues)  on New York City's West Side once again takes front and center stage as a focus and source of excitement, creativity, inspiration and sometimes provocation. The original Armory Show in NYC in 1913 rocked the art world. This Centennial Edition commemorates and remains a leading international contemporary and modern art fair and one of the most important annual art events in New York.

The Armory Show is devoted to showcasing the most important artworks of the 20th and 21st centuries. In its fifteen years the fair has become an international institution, combining a selection of the world's leading galleries with an exceptional program of arts events and exhibitions throughout New York during the celebrated Armory Arts Week
