THE OPEN INVITATIONAL is a new fair dedicated to progressive art studios showcasing the work of artists with disabilities, with the aim of building our artists’ careers and in the process dismantling outmoded hierarchies in the contemporary art world. With openness as our guiding principle we seek to broaden public awareness of progressive art studios and disseminate incredible, unique, and urgent art to collectors and institutions.
OPEN INVITATIONAL was founded by gallerist David Fierman/ FIERMAN Gallery and arts patron Ross McCalla / The Outsider Institute.
The Inaugural Open Invitational occurred in December 2024 in the Miami Design District.
