New Visionary Magazine is a print and digital publication featuring contemporary artists, exclusive interviews with art world professionals, and valuable art career resources. Published by Visionary Art Collective, a New York City-based Contemporary Art & Artist Development company, our mission is to uplift artists through features, virtual exhibitions, podcast interviews, and mentorship programs. To increase visibility for our featured artists, we distribute print copies at major art fairs, including Affordable Art Fair NYC and Superfine NYC, offering exposure to a broader and engaged audience.

Issue 13 will be curated by Erin Schuppert, Director of Affordable Art Fair NYC. After working for almost a decade in the auction and blue-chip gallery world, Erin Schuppert became the Director of Affordable Art Fair NYC in January 2022. With a mission to spread the joy of collecting art in an accessible and welcoming way, the fair holds two editions annually, in March and September. Each fair hosts over 75 galleries from around the world showcasing over 400 artists. Inspired by her vision to make a positive contribution to the vibrant NYC arts ecosystem, Erin began the Fellowship Program shortly after joining the fair. The Program invests in the long-term growth and success of local emerging galleries, inviting them to exhibit at the fair free of charge over three editions. Erin is also proud to work with local organizations such as Arts Gowanus, Materials for the Arts, FIT, and The Art Therapy Project to create joyful, engaging, and welcoming arts experiences. She holds a BA in Art History from Boston University and an MA in Museum Studies from NYU.
