IFAR hosts a range of public programs. These include a long-standing series of talks and panels on timely art world issues—IFAR Evenings, occasional conferences and symposia, and for members of IFAR's Collectors' Roundtable a series of intimate tours of private collections and institutions. IFAR Evenings are open to the public (admission prices vary) and are offered free to IFAR's supporters/members (above $250) and at a reduced rate for IFAR Journal subscribers.
