SHEER EXHIBITS ALL WOMEN OF COLOR ARTISTS AT THE SPRING 2024 AFFORDABLE ART FAIR IN NYC
SHEER exhibited all women of color artists at the Spring 2024 Affordable Art Fair in NYC from March 20-24 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea!
For decades, the Affordable Art Fair has been dedicated to its mission of democratizing the art world and making art buying feel more accessible. SHEER was honored to join the fair this Spring as a black woman-owned media platform that has connected and championed the work and stories of multicultural women and non-binary creatives from all over the world for the past five years.
SHEER’s booth featured works by artists Audrey Lyall, Nada Esmaeel, and Kaarina Chu Mackenzie. Check out photos from the opening night below and we’ll see you at the next Affordable Art Fair in the Fall!

I first stumbled across Nia Winslow’s work, totally by accident, and there was a piece titled “Secret Keeper” which I couldn’t believe was entirely paper because of the intricacies and detailing of the bobos and barrettes that took me back to my childhood. While digging deeper into her catalog I was shocked to realize her art is entirely collage and paper-based. The level of detail and intention behind her work is so incredibly impressive and even more so once I learned she was self-taught and only started making art in 2019!! Nia’s collages connect the Black and African diaspora by portraying our shared experiences from the seemingly mundane to the more poetic while simultaneously using unique strips of paper to also highlight we are not a monolith and to honor our diverse range of cultures.
