NYC art enthusiasts can enjoy newly commissioned pieces from international artists (John Ahearn, Uri Aran, Latifa Echakhch) at this spring’s Frieze Art Fair. In addition to the commissioned works, the Randall’s Island fair features more than 170 galleries, allowing visitors to buy from the world’s leading contemporary artists. The gallery experience is translated onto the island’s landscape, mostly outdoors, with a pop-up village and interactive art displays that navigate visitors throughout the entire expanse. Frieze Talks offers art aficionados panel discussions and keynote lectures throughout the exhibit. A ferry service is included in the admission price, making the commute as enjoyable as the art. No passport required. May 4-7. friezenewyork.com — JESSICA MATOS
