With COVER Connect New York opening this weekend, it’s time to get ready for three days of rug sourcing, new collections and industry connections in the heart of Manhattan
COVER Connect New York 2026 opens this Saturday at 9am (EDT). The two neighbouring venues are joined by one entrance, with reception located at the Metropolitan Pavilion on West 18th Street.
The show is open from 9am–5pm on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September, and 9am–3pm on Monday 28 September, giving visitors plenty of time to explore the collections and meet exhibitors.
We recommend registering in advance to save you time upon arrival.
The Metropolitan Pavilion and The Altman Building are on 125 and 135 West 18th Street, conveniently located in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighbourhood. Both venues are easily accessible by public transport, with the 1 train stopping at 18th Street, just a short walk from the show. Visitors can also get off at 14th Street, served by the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, A, C, E, F, L, M, N, Q, R and W trains.
To help you locate all 45 of our exhibitors, we have put together a floorplan.
This year’s brands offer a broad mix of handmade rugs, from traditional and transitional designs to contemporary collections, with plenty to discover across the two halls.
