VOLTA New York 2022

VOLTA Art Fair is excited to return to New York during Frieze Week. Operating as a beacon for creative discovery, VOLTA New York is the American incarnation of the original Basel fair since debuting in New York in 2008. VOLTA returns to New York from May 18 to 22, 2022 at 548 West 22nd Street, the former Dia Building and Hauser & Wirth gallery space.

Situated between Chelsea and Hudson River Park, 548 West has a rich history as a celebrated arts building. Located in the heart of West Chelsea’s gallery district and just one block from the High Line, the building has been home to prominent arts institutions for decades. Atlas Capital has invested over $2M into building improvements, making it a perfect opportunity for a long-term lease and the ideal location for VOLTA.

548 West is in a 10-minute walking distance to Frieze New York’s location at The Shed.

Public Vernissage: Wednesday, May 18, ?? PM

Public Hours: Thursday, May 19 – Saturday, May 20, ?? PM, Sunday, May 22, ?? PM

CREATING A SAFE FAIR

Alongside our venue at 548 West we are committed to making your fair visit as safe as possible. We aim to deliver the art fair experience you know and love, while maintaining compliance with the protocols and mandates of New York City and New York State health departments, the CDC, and the WHO, following their guidance on indoor gatherings.

Based on New York's Key to NYC program, people 12 and older participating in the below public indoor activities are now required to show proof they have received two vaccine doses, except for those who have received the one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Starting January 29, 2022, children ages 5 to 11 must also show proof of full vaccination.

There are multiple ways to show proof of vaccination: a photo or hard copy of their CDC vaccination card, NYC COVID Safe App, New York State Excelsior App, official vaccine record.

A photo or hard copy of an official vaccination record of a vaccine administered outside the United States for one of the following vaccines: AstraZeneca/SK Bioscience, Serum Institute of India/COVISHIELD and Vaxzevria, Sinopharm, or Sinovac.

Please make sure you have read and understood these measures before your visit. In the interest of everyone's safety, ticket holders who don't follow these guidelines or fail to present the required documents will unfortunately not be allowed into the fair.

To make our fairs a safe event for everyone, we’re implementing the following safety measures onsite:

1. Cashless Payment: To help with health and safety, we will only be accepting card and contactless payments throughout the fair.

2. Health and Safety Measures: To help keep visitors, exhibitors and staff safe, we are following protocols laid out by the local government. From mandatory face masks and temperature checks as you arrive, to providing hand-sanitizer and PPE stations, increased cleaning of the restrooms and other high use areas; you can be confident that the fair is a safe environment.

3. Frequent Health Checks: Exhibitors and staff will be asked to show proof of vaccine and booster (if it's that time already) to receive access to the venue. During the fair, we will continue to perform staff wellness checks including temperature checks and of course, any staff who are feeling unwell will be asked to stay at home.

4. Venue Ventilation: The 548 West’s HVAC system is equipped with MERV filters rated to prevent the spread of bacteria and droplet nuclei.

5. On-Site Food and Beverages: We will have a fully functioning cafe and bar for this edition. We do ask that you are conscious of when your mask is below your nose or mouth while actively eating or drinking.
