About The Armory Show After Hours

Picture the Javits Center after dark: world-class art on every wall, a DJ setting the tone, and a drink in hand. Less nightclub, more the chicest party in the city. This is The Armory Show After Hours, presented by TodayTix.

The Armory Show is one of the world's most renowned art fairs. Its 2026 edition brings nearly 230 leading galleries from more than 30 countries to the Javits Center this September. This year, for the first time, it opens for one night only, after the fair closes to the public.

From 7 to 9pm on Friday, September 25, the exhibition floor becomes a party. The art stays exactly where it is, but the lights drop and Foreigner takes over the room with a set inspired by the large-scale Caribbean sculptures on view. It's carnival energy from across the diaspora, with the polish of one of the art world's biggest stages.

Foreigner (@foreignerrrrr) is a Trinidadian-Venezuelan DJ and producer with a devoted following, known for high-energy sets at Coachella and Boiler Room.

It's the kind of night made to share. Come with friends, or come to make a few, and experience the fair the way only a lucky few will: a party among the art.
