Overview Art on Paper is a New York art fair where everything on the floor is made on or out of paper, from drawings, prints and photographs to walk-around paper installations, and the 2025 edition brought more than 100 galleries to Pier 36 on the Lower East Side. The 2025 fair ran in September, during Armory Arts Week. The first edition opened in March 2015 and the 2025 fair was the 11th. Art Market Productions produces it alongside the San Francisco, Seattle and Atlanta art fairs. On site Booths line carpeted aisles. Between them the fair stages paper-driven public projects, performances and artist talks. BOOKSMART, a small fair of artists' books curated by the Center for Book Arts, began inside Art on Paper in 2023 and had grown to 33 institutions by its third edition in 2025. AMP designs lounges into its fairs with designers such as Ken Fulk and BoConcept, and sells them as sponsor spaces. Talent and Influencers The 2015 debut included drawings by the novelist Dave Eggers. In 2022 every public project was by a woman artist, among them Yuko Nishikawa's paper-pulp mobiles. The 2024 fair showed vintage Man Ray photographs and Anna Gregor's carved paper interiors, and 2025 brought Nina Katchadourian's sculptures built from found paper. Nato Thompson, founder of The Alternative Art School, who oversaw Kara Walker's A Subtlety in 2014, was artistic director across AMP's fairs in 2025. Track record The fair had 95 galleries in 2022 and more than 100 by 2025, and it drew over 20,000 people in 2024. The Brooklyn Museum, the Lower Eastside Girls Club, The Cultivist, Artsy and the Whitney Contemporaries were cultural partners in 2025.
