Seventy-six dealers will show at PRINTS & DRAWINGS presented by the IFPDA Fair in New York next spring.

The fair, organised by the International Fine Print Dealers Association in New York, will run 8 to 11 April 2027 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, according to the fair's website. The exhibitor count was first reported by ARTnews.

It is the second outing under the expanded format. The 2026 IFPDA Print Fair ran 9 to 12 April and brought in drawing dealers alongside print specialists, a historic widening of its remit, the association said in a statement carried by the International Fine Print Dealers Association. That edition listed nearly 80 exhibitors, according to the fair's press page.

Prints here means images made in multiples from a plate, stone or screen. Drawings means one-off works on paper. Putting them together lets visitors trace an idea from sketch to edition in one hall.

The 2027 schedule is tight. An invitation-only VIP preview opens the week on Thursday, 8 April, from 5 to 9 PM. Public hours follow on Friday, 9 April, from 11 AM to 7 PM and Saturday, 10 April, from 11 AM to 7 PM, closing Sunday, 11 April, from 11 AM to 6 PM, the IFPDA Fair site lists.

Talks will also take place inside the Armory as part of the fair's public programme. Ticket income supports the IFPDA Foundation, the association's charitable arm, which funds print-related research and education.

What makes this stand out for a casual visitor is the scale. Dozens of dealers under one roof means centuries of work on paper in a single afternoon. No auction paddle required. Just walk, look closely, and ask how it was made.
