What to Expect at This Year’s Dallas Art Fair

Art collectors (and those interested in contemporary art in general) will want to mark their calendars for this year’s Dallas Art Fair if they’ve yet to do so. The annual event, now in its 18^th year, will take over the Fashion Industry Gallery, April 16–19. The event brings together galleries from more than a dozen countries, representing works from both new and well-known contemporary artists.

“The Dallas Art Fair has become a vital moment each spring for collectors, artists and institutions to connect and discover what’s next in contemporary art,” described Kelly Cornell, director, Dallas Art Fair. “What’s particularly exciting this year is how many global galleries are expanding their presence here — recognizing the caliber, curiosity and commitment of new and established Dallas collectors. This lineup not only showcases the dynamic range of work being produced today, but it also reinforces Dallas’ momentum as a major destination for art, culture and meaningful collector relationships.”

Additionally, 2026 marks the 10^th anniversary of the establishment of Dallas Art Fair Foundation’s Acquisition Fund, which has raised more than $3 million to date to support local art institutions as well as artists whose work is displayed at the fair.
