2026 Curatorial Summit at the IFPDA Fair.

The IFPDA Foundation Curatorial Summit

In 2026, the IFPDA Foundation launched the inaugural IFPDA Foundation Curatorial Summit. The event was jointly organized by Nadine Orenstein, Drew Heinz Curator in Charge, Department of Drawings & Prints, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Freyda Spira, Robert L. Solley Curator of Prints and Drawings, Yale University Art Gallery and Vice President of Print Council of America. The invitation-only closed door event represented the first-ever convening of print and drawing curators from around the world to share collective insights into developing exhibitions across traditional boundaries. The IFPDA Foundation also offers travel grants (typically around $2,000) to help institutionally based print and drawings curators attend the summit and fair in NYC. Curators from the following institutions attended the Summit:​​

​​​

​

​​​​

  • What It Is: An annual symposium for international print and drawings curators and scholars.

  • Hosted By: The IFPDA Foundation in conjunction with the annual IFPDA Fair.

  • Location: Park Avenue Armory in New York City.

  • Programming: Features curator-led talks, exhibition presentations, research presentations, and a networking lunch.

The next IFPDA Foundation Curatorial Summit will be held Friday, April 9th, 2027. The event will once again be jointly organized by Nadine Orenstein and Freyda Spira.
