NADA New York 2025

The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) and TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank®, are pleased to announce the return of the TD Bank Curated Spotlight, a special section at NADA New York 2025 organized by Owen Duffy, Nancy C. Allen Curator and Director of Exhibitions at Asia Society Texas.

A fan favorite at the Miami and New York fairs, the sixth iteration of the Curated Spotlight program will feature a special focus on nine galleries and artists from Texas and Mexico. Introduced at NADA Miami in 2021, past curators include Ebony L. Haynes, Kendra Jayne Patrick, Joeonna Belloarado-Samuels, Simon Wu, Jenée-Daria Strand, and Jasmine Wahi.

“A couple of years ago, I stepped outside New York for the no-zoning sprawl of Houston, Texas. This move has offered an opportunity for geographic reorientation. This year’s edition of the TD Bank Curated Spotlight reflects my new ecosystem, and I invited galleries from Texas and Mexico to participate,” said Owen Duffy, “These two places share intertwined histories, which allowed for a unique perspective to be highlighted. An art fair like NADA is a marketplace, an important one, and I hope this section becomes a catalyst for shining a light on ascendant gallery programs and artists working outside traditional market centers.”
