Opening this weekend, Arrival Art Fair is set in a hotel retreat and offers art starting in the hundreds, not millions. Sarah Galender Meyer, Yng-Ru Chen, and Crystalle Lacouture launched an alternative to sterile mega-fairs with programming including gallery rooms, studio visits, and panel discussions.

The new fair, located in a motel in the Berkshires, is a welcoming and inspiring display with a unique institutional pedigree.

The inaugural edition of the biennial fair runs until June 15 with 36 exhibitors at the Tourists hotel and off-site programming in nearby venues. Visitors casually stroll hotel walkways into gallery rooms in a more intimate fair format.

The inaugural fair transformed the Tourists hotel into a vibrant cultural outpost blending high-caliber art with down-to-earth charm, attracting curators, collectors, and artists for its intimate format and verdant surroundings.
