The Venue

Art Fair 14C moves to its 5th venue for its 6th Edition – the 40,000 sq ft 4th floor of Project 14C in the historic 150 Bay Street building in the Powerhouse Arts District of downtown Jersey City. The space was built out in 2020 with the intention to house the student athletes of Alliance University, which closed permanently in 2023.

The 4th floor is currently empty, but in April 2025 will welcome artists of all disciplines for 12-month live/work residencies as part of Project 14C. Artists started moving into Project 14C’s 5th and 6th floors in November 2024.

22 LARGE LOFT STUDIO SPACES

There are 22 large, light and airy spaces for exhibitors for Art Fair 14C, ranging from 877 sq ft (81.5 sq m) to 1504 sq ft (140 sq m).

Each is a unique space, though all have polished concrete floors, 12 ft (3.7m) ceiling height, large windows, a kitchenette and two bathrooms. We will be placing temporary exhibition walls in each space, with 8 ft (2.5m) height and varying length to supplement the existing walls. Customization of the exhibition walls and the exhibition space is permitted for accepted exhibitors who apply on or before December 16, 2024.

There are two options for exhibitors:

• renting an entire loft studio for the period of the fair – exhibitors who choose this option are also able to stay in the studios overnight, saving a hotel charge. Project 14C has beds available that would be turned into couches or day beds during public hours, and each studio has two full bathrooms and a kitchenette. Prices range from $12k+ to $21k+.

• renting a booth and/or exhibition wall within a shared studio – these are available in prices that range from $500 to $5,000+.

Exhibitors interested in touring the space before applying are welcome to make an appointment – we are there almost every day. Just email us at [email protected].

There is an application fee of $90 until December 16, and $125 after that.

Important dates

Deadline to apply: Monday, December 16, 2024*, 11:59pm ET.

*note: applications will remain open for a limited number of exhibitors until February 3, 2025, but exhibitors applying after December 16 will not have the option of customizing their exhibition space.

Exhibitors will be notified no later than January 20, 2025.

Because Art Fair 14C controls the venue, customization and installation can begin at any time after acceptance, but must be complete by noon on Thursday March 20, 2025.
