The Open Invitational is a new fair dedicated to progressive art studios showcasing the work of artists with disabilities, with the aim of building our artists’ careers and in the process dismantling outmoded hierarchies in the contemporary art world. With openness as our guiding principle we seek to broaden public awareness of progressive art studios and disseminate incredible, unique, and urgent art to collectors and institutions.
We launched in 2024 in the Design District and are thrilled to be bringing together over 15 studios from around the country back to the Design District in 2025. We also recently held our first fair in New York and will be presenting Creativity Explored x Open Invitational in San Francisco in January 2026.
