Affordable Art Fair NYC has named Camp Z, the Accessible Art Program from Lower East Side gallery Collective Z, as its newest Fellowship Gallery. Camp Z will make its Affordable Art Fair debut this fall, presenting a curated selection of contemporary works priced from $500–$10,000 and continuing as the Fellowship Gallery across the next three editions of the fair.
Founded earlier this year by Alex Z. Wang, Collective Z is a contemporary gallery on Broome Street dedicated to artists working in states of transition, tension, and becoming. Through painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, and mixed media, the gallery represents emerging and mid-career artists while fostering long-term relationships through exhibitions, collaboration, and career development.
Camp Z was created to make contemporary art more accessible by helping new collectors discover original artwork while giving emerging artists greater visibility, commercial opportunities, and early-career support through thoughtfully curated presentations at approachable price points.

The inaugural presentation will feature works by Tanner Bosma and John Hayduk. Bosma's paintings move between layered abstraction and cinematic cityscapes, while Hayduk's contemplative landscapes draw on classical realism to explore memory, impermanence, and the natural world. Together, they reflect Camp Z's commitment to introducing distinctive emerging artists to new audiences.
"We are thrilled to announce Camp Z as our new Fellow. Alex Z. Wang founded his gallery, Collective Z earlier this year in the Lower East Side with a strong curatorial vision that favors dynamic and emotionally resonant work from a diverse roster of emerging and mid-career artists. In perfect alignment with the fair’s mission, the gallery’s new initiative, Camp Z is committed to being a welcoming entry point for first-time collectors by championing high quality, accessibly priced artworks. We look forward to working with Alex over the next three editions and beyond to present Camp Z’s artists to the Affordable Art Fair NYC audience." — Erin Schuppert, Fair Director, Affordable Art Fair NYC.

The Affordable Art Fair Fellowship Program supports emerging galleries through exhibition space, marketing, public relations support, and opportunities to connect with new audiences and collectors. As the fair's newest Fellow, Camp Z will participate across the next three editions of Affordable Art Fair NYC.
"Collective Z was built around the belief that great artists deserve both curatorial support and meaningful access to the market," said Alex Z. Wang, Founder and Director of Collective Z. "Camp Z extends that mission by creating a welcoming entry point for collectors while helping emerging artists build sustainable careers. We're honored to join the Affordable Art Fair Fellowship Program and excited to introduce Camp Z's artists to the fair's audience."
