From Lover to Buyer™ | From Collector to Patron

An Exclusive NY Art Week Experience in Art, Culture & Investment

Friday, May 15th | 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Private 25th-Floor Lounge, Hudson Yards, NYC

On the occasion of New York Art Week, From Lover to Buyer™ returns for its second NYC edition — and the 2026 program is better than ever.

Join us for an elevated, salon-style gathering designed to complement (and enhance) your art week experience. Hosted by Art Asset Class™, this intimate event brings together collectors, investors, founders, and cultural leaders for a day of dynamic conversations, meaningful connection, and shared curiosity around the evolving value of art and culture.

Set in a stunning private 25th-floor lounge at the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards, with sweeping views of the Hudson River, the experience unfolds just steps away from Frieze, NADA, Future Fair, and the city’s leading galleries.

Expect a lively, welcoming atmosphere — equal parts insightful and social — with a thoughtfully curated program and an exceptional group of guests.

• Engaging, salon-style conversations with leading voices across art, finance, and culture
• A relaxed, seated gourmet lunch in partnership with Electric Lemon
• Panoramic views and an intimate, beautifully designed setting
• A highly curated guest list of collectors, creatives, and industry leaders

PLUS
