NEW YORK - eTradeWire -- HELLO DOLLY! The Dolly Parton Experience celebrates the legendary Dolly Parton, as this year's fair leans fully into camp, heart, humor, and the unmistakable Fridge ethos: small, scrappy, and unforgettable.

Known for being "small but mighty," Fridge continues to challenge the traditional art fair model with an emphasis on intimacy, accessibility, and raw creative energy. This year features just 10 tightly curated booths alongside the ever-expanding Open To All Project, proving that scale has nothing to do with impact. And yes, it's going to be kind of amazing.

This year features a heartfelt tribute to beloved co-director Linda DiGusta, highlighting her "Pear" series. This presentation honors her legacy while supporting causes connected to her life and work.

As always, Fridge is proudly dog-friendly, extending into two special window installations at Dog City NYC: "Islands in the Stream" & "9 to 5". These playful, street-facing works by founder, Eric Ginsburg (https://www.instagram.com/ericginsburgartist) and Friends bring the spirit of Dolly and Fridge out into the city itself.

Fridge Art Fair continues to stand apart: fiercely independent, joyfully unconventional, and grounded in the belief that art should be accessible, communal, and just a little bit ridiculous.
