Returning after its debut at Frieze New York in 2023, the Artist Plate Project will once again transform The Shed into a platform for art and social impact. The work of more than 50 celebrated artists are featured in limited-edition fine-bone china plates to support the Coalition for the Homeless and their lifesaving services.
This year’s participating artists include Alexander Calder, Amoako Boafo, Amy Sherald, Anna Weyant, Barkley L. Hendricks, Brian Calvin, Carmen Herrera, Cecily Brown, Charles Gaines, Chase Hall, Christina Quarles, Cindy Sherman, Danielle McKinney, Derrick Adams, Ed Ruscha, Faith Ringgold, Jackson Pollock, Jean-Michel Basquiat, JR, KAWS, Keith Haring, Lorna Simpson, Louise Bourgeois, Man Ray, Mickalene Thomas, Robert Indiana, Sanford Biggers, Takashi Murakami, and others.
Each plate, produced in editions of 250 by Atelier Eighty Eight, is priced at $250, with proceeds directly funding vital services such as meals, housing support, and crisis intervention. The purchase of just one plate can feed more than 100 homeless and hungry individuals.
The first 100 editions of select designs will be available on-site at Frieze New York (May 7–11) on a first-come, first-served basis. Remaining editions will be sold via Artware Editions (artwareeditions.com) beginning May 13 at 10 AM EST.
