"Art on Paper returns to downtown Manhattan's Pier 36 in March of 2017 to build on the success of the fair's first two editions. Art on Paper's medium-driven focus lends itself to significant projects - unique moments that have set the fair apart and established a new and important destination for the arts in New York City. Art on Paper's Projects and Events challenge, expand and engage visitors with their interactive presentation and immersive constructions. This invitational program works with participating galleries and cultural organizations to make a more enriching art fair experience."

Last month, the Smart Cities New York conference at Pier 36 welcomed 1,300 people for two days of panel discussions, keynote speeches and seminars on a host of issues facing cities as they look to get smarter.

From broadband internet and blockchain to affordable housing and closing the educational achievement gap, speakers covered a wide gamut of areas where city leaders are looking to innovate and improve their citizens’ lives.

With speakers including New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Iceland President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, there was plenty of star power on hand to share best practices with city leaders, private companies and other stakeholders.
