The Palm Beach Show Group, which currently produces ten of the country’s top  fine art, jewelry, and antiques shows, has added another must-see event to its roster. The New York City Jewelry & Watch Show will debut on Friday, October 30, at the chic Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea. The inaugural event will feature over 100 international dealers offering a stunning array of antique and estate jewelry and watches as well as a thoughtfully curated selection of contemporary pieces.

Changes are afoot for the Outsider Art Fair, which today announced not just one, but two new venues, in both New York and Paris.

In Manhattan, the fair will move to the Metropolitan Pavilion, on West 18th Street, which is also home to the PULSE art fair. The Paris edition, entering its third year, will move to Hôtel du Duc, hosting 36 exhibitors in a 1,000-square-meter space (approximately 3,280 feet).

The fair's Gotham edition found itself homeless after the former Dia Art Foundation building, where it ran for several years, was purchased by a new landlord, who terminated the leases of the events venue as well as Zach Feuer gallery.

On Thursday, January 22, 2015, Metro Curates will open to the public at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. Formerly known as the Metro Show, this year’s fair will feature a wide range of offerings, including ethnographic objects, applied and decorative arts, historic and contemporary textiles, and modern and contemporary fine art and design. According to Caroline Lerch, the show’s Director, “We believe that the new name best reflects the curatorial aims of the fair.” 

Organized by The Art Fair Company, the producers of a long line of prestigious shows, including SOFA CHICAGO and the AADLA Spring Show NYC, Metro Curates presents works in a remarkably unique and thoughtful manner. Exhibitors are asked to feature a single artist or themed exhibit in their booths, creating a swath of interestingly juxtapositioned displays that span a variety of movements, genres, and oeuvres. In addition to the specially curated booths, the intimate scale of the show allows visitors to spend time with each exhibitor and fully absorb and appreciate the compellingly diverse selection of materials.

While it seemed like Frieze was snagging all the satellites this year, at least one fair is moving its date back to align with the Armory Show. Pulse New York has just announced that it will move to March for the 2015 edition of the fair, which also happens to be its 10th anniversary. From March 5 to 8, during Armory Arts Week, Pulse will set up shop at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea.
