Harlem Frames at the HFAS Summer Festival 2026
Harlem Frames is participating in the Harlem Fine Arts Show Summer Festival, taking place July 17–19, 2026 at Duck Walk Vineyards in Water Mill, New York.
Harlem Frames once again joined in the company of incredibly talented artists, enthusiastic collectors and galleries, and left inspired by the presence of pivotal cultural leaders for the Harlem Fine Arts Show Summer Festival, held July 17–19, 2026, at Duck Walk Vineyards in Water Mill, New York.
Nestled in the serenity of the Hamptons, the three-day festival brought together more than 50 esteemed and emerging artists, in addition to hosting art talks, live music, culinary programming, wine experiences, and memorable community events. Presented in partnership with the Creole Food Festival and the Alzheimer’s Association®, the weekend expanded the Harlem Fine Arts Show beyond the traditional art fair format, into a vibrant and lively broader celebration of art, culture, and community.
Harlem Frames in the Hamptons
Throughout the weekend, Harlem Frames connected with artists, collectors, and visitors while presenting the range of services we provide to the arts community.
Our presence at the festival offered us a unique opportunity to have a proper discussion on the importance of custom framing, preservation, presentation, fine-art printing, scanning, and the careful handling of artwork with artists and collectors in an environment platforming both the work itself and the people who champion it.
Participating in the HFAS Summer Festival also continued Harlem Frames’ alliance with Harlem Fine Arts Show and its commitment to creating spaces where black artists can connect with collectors, cultural organizations, and curious audiences.
For Harlem Frames, these events are as much about building relationships as they are about presenting our services. Impactful events like these enable Harlem Frames to encounter artists directly, learn more about their practices, and support the many stages through which an artwork moves—from creation and documentation to framing, exhibition, collection, and preservation.
We’re grateful to everyone who stopped by Harlem Frames throughout the weekend and proud to have been part of HFAS Summer Festival 2026.

Harlem Frames at the Harlem Fine Arts Show 2026
Harlem Frames is participating in the 18th edition of the Harlem Fine Arts Show, taking place February 20–22, 2026 at The Glasshouse in New York City.
Harlem Frames had the privilege of joining a distinguished coterie of artists, collectors, galleries, and cultural organizations for the 18th edition of the Harlem Fine Arts Show, held February 20–22, 2026 at The Glasshouse in New York City.
For nearly two decades, the Harlem Fine Arts Show has flourished through the organization’s ability to cultivate a center for black artists to be platformed and ascend to the spotlight together, with HFAS championing the establishment and growth of emerging artists, inviting both collectors and the wider arts community to engage and participate in a celebration of arts and culture. The 2026 festivities featured more than 100 artists, in addition to hosting curated talks and special programming delving into the intersections of art, culture, technology, health, and community.
Harlem Frames at HFAS18
Throughout the jubilant weekend, Harlem Frames presented a selection of our mouldings and on-site services. We had the pleasure of connecting with a vibrant and profoundly talented community of artists, collectors, and patrons from across the arts community.
Our participation offered an opportunity to share the craft behind what we do—from custom framing and presentation to preservation and fine-art services—and to communicate directly with artists and collectors regarding the art of thoughtful framing and how it quickly becomes essential to the life-hood of an artwork.
As a framing studio rooted in Harlem, participating in the Harlem Fine Arts Show signified a deeper meaning for us. The fair's longstanding commitment to black artists and to building relationships between these artists and collectors reflects a creative community that Harlem Frames has been fortunate enough to work alongside.
HFAS18 was ultimately an homage to the talented folks whose hands are behind the work: the artists creating it, the collectors supporting it, and the community basking in the beauty of it all.
We're grateful to have been part of the 18th edition of Harlem Fine Arts Show, and to everyone who visited Harlem Frames throughout the weekend.
