NADA sets its sights on SoHo
The New York-based fair NADA which runs concurrently to the Armory Show is leaving its Hudson Square space for the ground floor of Skylight Clarkson Sq in West SoHo. The 2018 edition of the fair will take place between March 8 and 11.
The move to the building on 550 Washington Street will see NADA slightly downsize with a 60,000ft2 space, however the fair will be closer to the Armory Show which takes place at Piers 92 and 94. Other than the move, a new prize has also been organised in order to give the opportunity to one gallery from the Projects section to participate in the 2019 edition of the fair with a sponsored booth.

Arab Culture Fund to finance 26 visual arts projects
The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture has revealed the details of its Visual Arts grants program for 2017. The jury, composed of Art adviser, Curator and art Critic Khadija Hamdi Soussi (Tunisia), curator and co-director of Dar al-Ma’mûn Omar Berrada (Morocco) and painter, sculptor and multimedia artist Moataz Nasr, made an announcement this summer stating:
“The 75 pre-selected projects that we examined were an overwhelming testimony to the turmoils the Arab region is living through, but also to the immense creativity of its artists and resilience of its societies. Creative minds of various ages, working in different media and across different geographies, are attempting to face the current historical moment. They are carving a meaningful and ethical way out of the ruins of war and subjection.”
$300,000 will be awarded to the selected projects; artists include Oussama Tabti for his project I’m the Algerian Man of Ellis Island; Lebanese artist Rania Mneimneh with Tints of Resilience; and Maroccan artist Randa Maroufi with Bab Sebta.
