The Independent has released the exhibitor list for its 2018 New York fair—and dedicated attendees will, as usual, be in for a surprise. While most fairs maintain a somewhat similar lineup each year, Independent prefers turnover. Next year, 19 of the 50 galleries will be showing at the fair for the very first time.

“The idea is just to keep the conversation animated,” Matthew Higgs, the fair’s curatorial adviser, told artnet News. Some 200 dealers have participated in Independent over the years, but the fair firmly believes that less is more and has committed to including just 50 galleries in each edition.

Some of the newcomers are participating this year because the ADAA Art Show, which normally conflicts with Independent, is opening a week earlier this year, ahead of other Armory Week stalwarts. For the first time, galleries including Cheim & Read and Leslie Tonkonow are able to take part in both fairs.

“I’ve tried to support artists who have unconventional backgrounds,” added Higgs, who is also director of New York’s White Columns. He’s carried that over to his work with Independent by including galleries specializing in outsider art, such as New York’s Ricco/Maresca.

As dealers began sharing their planned 2018 offerings with the fair, an interesting trend developed: So far, fully half of the booths will be dedicated entirely to women artists. Expected highlights include a site-specific installation by Cynthia Daignault at London’s Sunday Painter and new work by Hélène Delprat at Paris’s Galerie Christophe Gaillard.

A sign of how much the fair has grown since its founding in 2010, the upcoming edition will also feature a suite of panel discussions for the first time. The keynote event, discussing the sustainability of New York’s creative community, will include Higgs and Whitney Museum curator Chrissie Iles as well as local artists and gallerists.
