Art fair tours
See the fair the way the dealers do
Small-group art fair tours with me as your guide: VIP previews, introductions to gallery directors, studio visits, and the best tables in town with a food and wine co-host.

What’s different
Access you can’t book online
Anyone can buy a fair ticket. These tours open the doors I’ve spent twenty-five years walking through, as a gallerist, an art fair director and a public gallery director.
VIP preview
The fair at its quietest, with the best works still on the walls.
Gallery directors
Time with the dealers, not just their booths.
Studios and collections
Artists’ studios, private collections and museum back rooms.
The table
Hosted dinners and tastings with a food and wine co-host.

Tell me which fairs appeal and I’ll send dates and prices when each tour opens. This is not a booking and there’s no payment. Tours will be run with a licensed tour operator, who will handle bookings, payments and travel.
