The Dallas Art Fair and The Dallas Invitational are set to captivate attendees with an impressive lineup of gallery exhibitors hailing from across the globe. Both fairs will take place during the first weekend of April, with the Dallas Invitational running one day shorter. We will also be in Dallas doing our usual art fair events, such as our coveted artist lunch honouring Patrick Martinez and Samuel Levi Jones.

Returning for its 16th edition, The Dallas Art Fair will feature 91 gallery exhibitors, including notable participants like Alexander Berggruen and Luis De Jesus Los Angeles. Moreover, the fair will feature a robust slate of programming, including the Eyeboretum, an immersive garden experience, and various artist talks and panel discussions.

Additionally, The Dallas Invitational has announced its second return to the city with an exciting lineup of well-known galleries. Originally inspired by the Gramercy International Art Fair, now known as the Armory Show, the Dallas Invitational will showcase artworks inside guest rooms throughout the Fairmont Hotel, just across the street from the Fashion Industry Gallery, where the Dallas Art Fair is held.
