Last weekend was fun, with a trip to NYC for the art fairs. That led to quite a few posts summarizing our experiences there. We also had some great interviews throughout the week given to us by contributors Ellen C. Caldwell and Josh Reames. If you missed any of the posts, check them out below!

New American Paintings NYC Art Fair Field Trip by New American Paintings

It was great being in the city for the fairs this past weekend. Between the three NAP staffers on the trip, and our two guest photo bloggers (Lee Gainer and Joshua Field), we saw a lot of art. While our publisher, Steven Zevitas, was manning his gallery booth at Volta, Associate Publisher, Drew Katz, and Communications Manager, Alexa Kinne, bobbed and weaved their way through the aisles of the Armory, Volta, and Independent fairs and captured their favorite works for you to check out, just in case you couldn’t make it. If that isn’t enough for you, be sure to check out our pictures from the Whitney Biennial, which we are posting on Wednesday. Enjoy!

(We tried to identify all pieces that we photographed, but apologize if we missed something. Sometimes it wasn’t our fault, galleries need to “label their sh*t!) If you can help us out, please shoot us an email.

Well we are back from New York and we are beat! If you call the office today, go easy on Alexa, it was a late night traveling. We still have tons of our own photographs to go through from the fair, which should be posted tomorrow. In the meantime, we have a final round of images submitted by our guest photo blogger, Lee Gainer. Last time she checked in, Gainer had sent images from Armory and Scope. Now she shares her favorite pieces from the VOLTA fair (one of our favorites!). See her pictures after the jump, and be sure to come back tomorrow for our staff favorites from Armory, Volta, and Independent.

We try to cover as much contemporary painting as we can on the NAP/Blog, and sometimes we need your assistance. Are you going to be visiting the art fairs in NYC March 7-11? Do you have a nice camera? Are you the type of person that likes to document visits to your favorite gallery? If so, we could use your to help covering the fairs for our blog. We want to post photographs of your favorite artworks and installations while at the fairs next month (Armory, Volta, Scope, The Art Show, etc..). Share your art fair experience with our blog readers all over the globe.

The selected “photographer” will receive a two-year subscription to New American Paintings, a dedicated blog post for the photographs (with full credit, of course), and a link to their personal website or blog.*

To be considered as our guest photo contributor, please fill out the form here by February 26th. We need to know a little bit about you and get a few samples of some photographs that you’ve taken while gallery-hopping or visiting an art fair.

Thanks for participating and good luck! We will introduce our guest contributor(s) at the end of the month.

*Photographers will be responsible for their own transportation and admission to the fairs. All images must be submitted by Sunday, March 11.
