Dallas Art Fair Reveal
Dallas Art Fair lures nearly 100 premier exhibitors to 6th annual extravaganza
For Dallas art enthusiasts, there is no more important time of year than Dallas Arts Week, highlighted by the annual Dallas Art Fair that takes over the Fashion Industry Gallery. Now in its sixth year, the fair recently revealed the nearly 100 exhibitors — local, national and international — that will be onsite April 10-13.
“Since 2009, the Dallas Art Fair has grown to present a greater number of galleries and programs with each edition,” co-founder John Sughrue said in a statement. “It is a testament to our city’s institutions and collectors that the Dallas Art Fair has become the locus of a wealth of cultural activity each spring.”
The fair opens with an exclusive preview gala on April 10 — one of the most essential events on the Dallas social scene — which benefits the Dallas Contemporary, Nasher Sculpture Center and Dallas Museum of Art. During the preview, patrons get first dibs on works that appeal to both serious collectors and first-time buyers.
“Dallas-Fort Worth is chock-full of collectors who get it, and there’s an adventure to meeting them on their home turf,” Marlborough Gallery’s Michael Gitlitz told arts reporter Kendall Morgan last year. “It’s refreshing to meet people with big walls who aren’t afraid of art.”
Dallas Art Fair is only component of Dallas Arts Week programming, which launches April 4 with the revamped MTV RE:DEFINE, a benefit gala and auction that supports the MTV Staying Alive Foundation and the Contemporary. Notable exhibitions during that time include Julian Schnabel, Richard Phillips and Paula Crown at Dallas Contemporary; Fredrik Vaerslev at the Power Station; Bettina Pousttchi at the Nasher Sculpture Center; Thomas Lawson at the Goss-Michael Foundation; and Robert Smithson at the Dallas Museum of Art.
The preview gala takes place April 10, 7-10 pm. Tickets start at $250, and they can be purchased on the Dallas Art Fair website. The fair is open to the public April 11-13. Hours are Friday and Saturday, 11 am-7 pm, and Sunday, noon-6 pm. Tickets start at $25, and they can also be purchased online.
Professionals Day returns for its second year on Friday, April 11, 11 am-7 pm, when CultureMap Insiders can get free access to the fair. More details on that are coming soon.
