AIPAD’s Photography Show announces 77 exhibiting galleries for 2026 edition https://ift.tt/uvog3iA

The Photography Show, organized by AIPAD (Association of International Photography Art Dealers) has announced 77 exhibitors for its 2026 edition. The art fair will take place at the Park Avenue Armory in New York from April 22 to 26, 2026, with a VIP opening on Wednesday, April 22nd.

New exhibitors joining the fair include Ruiz-Healy Art, which has locations in New York and San Antonio, and INTHEGALLERY, which is based in Copenhagen and Mallorca, Spain. They will appear alongside returning participants such as Danziger Gallery and Atlanta’s Jackson Fine Art. This year, more than a third of participating galleries are either women-founded or women-led.

Alongside this announcement, AIPAD named American photographer Deborah Willis as the winner of its 2026 AIPAD Award. The award will be presented during the VIP day of the fair in April. Willis is best known for her scholarship on the history of photography and visual culture, with a particular focus on representations of the Black body, women, and lesser-known historical narratives. As the chair of the department of photography at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, she is also recognized for advancing research on contemporary women photographers.

“Deb’s work and influence have meaningfully altered how photography and photographers are viewed, discussed, and represented both behind and in front of the camera,” AIPAD executive director Lydia Melamed Johnson told Artsy in an exclusive statement. “Spanning scholarship, curatorial work, artistic practice, and, perhaps most importantly, her tireless support of and mentorship to the defining voices of previous generations and our present moment, her contributions to our medium, in the broadest possible sense, cannot be overstated.”
