Over 50 of the world’s preeminent art galleries have gathered in Dallas for the 2nd annual Dallas Art Fair to give us a big taste of the art world – and what a savory one it is.

Texas is making a statement as massive as its size with 16 galleries showing an eclectic and vibrant range of pieces, from Colton and Farb Gallery (Houston) showing 80’s artist/film producer/fashion designer/stylist Maripol’s (you have her to thank for the Madonna cone bra) photographs of Andy Warhol and Grace Jones, to Kristy Stubbs Gallery’s (Dallas) haunting Paul Fryer sculpture, “Pieta.”

The Dallas Art Fair is located inside FIG (Fashion Industry Gallery), 1807 Ross Avenue, Friday, February 5
11:00 AM to 7 PM, Saturday, February 6 11:00 AM to 7 PM and Sunday, February 7 11:00 AM to 5 PM.

Tickets to the Dallas Art Fair are $20 per person per day for a single day pass or $40 per person for admission to all three days of the event. To purchase tickets, click here. Tickets will be available for purchase at the event site during the dates of the fair.
