ADAA names 63 galleries for its new fair, debuting this November.
The Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) has revealed the 63 participant galleries selected for the inaugural ADAA Fair at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. Running November 13-16, the fair marks a new chapter for the ADAA, a nonprofit membership organization comprising roughly 200 fine art galleries across nearly forty U.S. cities. The fair’s opening will be preceded by a preview gala on November 12, organized in partnership with the Whitney Museum of American Art to benefit the museum’s education and artistic programs. The fair’s lineup spans galleries from 23 U.S. cities and 12 states, including founding members such as Kraushaar Galleries and Hirschl & Adler, newcomers including Alexander Berggruen, Hollis Taggart, and Nicodim, and recently admitted galleries such as AH Arts, Luis De Jesus Los Angeles, and David Lusk Gallery. Notable presentations include a Berry Campbell showcase spotlighting women artists, a Peter Blum Gallery exhibition of Alex Katz’s works-on-paper from the past seven decades, and a solo exhibition of Betye Saar assemblage works at Robert Projects marking the artist’s centennial.
Vanderbilt’s new San Francisco art college receives $75 million from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
The San Francisco campus of Vanderbilt University has received a $75 million donation from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and his wife Lori to establish a new art college. Pending university approval, the institution will be named the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang College of Art, Architecture and Design. Set to open in November 2027, the college will occupy the former premises of the California College of the Arts (CCA), the last non-profit art school in the state. The gift marks the single largest donation the Huangs have made to an educational institution, surpassing the $50 million they gave to Jensen’s alma mater, Oregon State. Combined with the $22.5 million donated in February 2025, Huang’s contributions to the school now total $97.5 million, and the Huangs’ gift has already spurred an additional $25 million in philanthropic donations toward Vanderbilt’s San Francisco expansion.
The Courtauld will show nearly two dozen Georgia O’Keeffe Ghost Ranch works in 2027.
The Courtauld Gallery in London will open “Georgia O’Keeffe: Ghost Ranch” in October 2027, an exhibition of nearly two dozen works exploring how the artist’s New Mexico property shaped her painting practice. Ghost Ranch, a remote property in the high desert north of Santa Fe, became O’Keeffe’s summer home starting in 1934, when she began renting a room on the 21,000-acre estate before eventually purchasing it. Dr. Karen Serres, senior curator of paintings at the Courtauld, told the Guardian that O’Keeffe’s relationship to Ghost Ranch remains under-recognized in Britain despite its centrality to her work.
The Immigrant Artist Biennial sets October dates for third edition, “Identity Card.”
The Immigrant Artist Biennial, which has showcased the work of immigrant artists since 2019, has announced the title and thematic focus of its third iteration, “Identity Card.” The 2026 edition, taking place across partner venues in New York City during October and November, is devoted to exploring the condition of “being neither here nor there; with or without a land, home, citizenship, roots or community,” the organization said in a statement, positioning the concept of “identity cards” as something that both enables and restricts mobility. This year’s cocurators are Sanna Almajedi, a performance curator at e-Flux who previously served in that role at the 13th Seoul MediaCity Biennale; Sofia Thiệu D’Amico, codirector of the gallery Transmitter and former assistant curator at Canal Projects; Eva Mayhabal Davis, who recently cocurated “Bronx Calling: The Bronx 5th Biennial” at the Bronx Museum of the Arts; and Anna Khimasia, an independent curator who lectures at Rutgers University. The biennial will unfold across Brooklyn and Manhattan at BRIC, Brooklyn Art Haus, Residency Unlimited, Nguyen Wahed, and the Shiva Gallery at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, with programming including screenings, performances, panels, workshops, and a potluck exploring censorship, knowledge, and territorial sovereignty.
Television Academy and NATAS in exploratory talks to reunite after decades-long rift.
Fifty years after the TV Academy split into two rival organizations, the Television Academy and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) revealed Monday they have begun “exploratory talks” on reunification. No deadline has been set, but the boards of both academies have “voted overwhelmingly to evaluate what a unified Academy could make possible: a strong vision for the Academy’s future, more effective thought leadership for the industry, broader service and support for members coast-to-coast, and new momentum and opportunities across the full complement of national Emmy competitions,” the two organizations said in a joint statement. The rift dates back to 1977, when the original TV Academy’s New York and Los Angeles chapters split over irreconcilable differences, forming NATAS and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (later rebranded the Television Academy).
