Art+Design+Fashion Fair Westfield Fair 2026 - 2nd Annual

 2nd Annual  ART + DESIGN + FASHION FAIR | WESTFIELD NJ 

 NOVEMBER 13, 14 & 15 2026 

You are invited to exhibit in the second annual Westfield Art+Design+Fashion Fair —a dynamic  opportunity for serious artists looking to expand their audience in one of New Jersey's most affluent and vibrant communities.

Rolling Deadline.   Sorry, Jewlery Category is closed.

Why Exhibit at Westfield?
We have scheduled the 2026 fair for November 13, 14, and 15, moving away from Halloween weekend to provide an even better opportunity for buying and attendance.
Shifting to November in Year Two will better align with community schedules and capitalize on the strong buzz and positive reviews and sales we established last year.

Why Westfield Is Poised to Become  New Jersey’s Next  Top-Selling Show
Westfield and its surrounding towns hold a rare concentration of affluent, proven buyers. The local economy consistently ranks in New Jersey’s top tier of discretionary spending. Median household income is about $212,700,and average household income is around $297,000.
And importantly —

• Year One: We gave them a first-class show (with a few exceptions)
  Buyers purchased expensive, high-quality work. This we can build on.
  Visitors paid a $12 admission, a comfortable sign that the audience expects and values quality.
  The fair inspired significant word-of-mouth recommendations among discerning buyers:
  Westfield is the kind of town where word travels quickly through schools, clubs, downtown merchants, and tightly connected social networks. That network is now awake — and enthusiastic.
• Easy Access to High-Income Counties and Coastal Buyers
  The Armory sits about five minutes off Exit 135 on Garden State Parkway, making the fair an easy trip for buyers coming from:
  Bergen County,Union County (on your doorstep), Essex & Somerset Counties. In addition. It is a 40-50 minute Drive to Monmouth County’s affluent beach towns, including Red Bank, Asbury Park,  Long Branch, Little Silver…and many others.

To put Westfield’s potential in perspective, consider Morristown-
the  state’s other major indoor Armory, is the home to a long-running Morristown show — generally well-attended and valuable, but historically skewed toward crafts and jewelry, and an older demographic.
Westfield is emerging differently as a premium indoor market with a buyer base comfortable at higher price points and a serious audience for serious original work.
