With its mission to promote, support and connect Texas women in the arts, Texas Vignette<\/a> will present its 7th annual\u00a0Vignette Art Fair\u00a0this weekend, Oct. 2-4, at On\u00a0The\u00a0Levee in the Design District. This year\u2019s juried show is curated by arts leader\u00a0Maggie Adler\u00a0and free and open to the public.

<\/a>The fair features artists who are both emerging and internationally acclaimed from across the state, Vignette Art Fair 2025 will feature more than 100 works by 55 women artists \u2013 spanning mixed media, sculptures, ceramics, paintings, printmaking, photography and more. <\/p>\n

Founded in 2017 by Jessica Ingle, Texas Vignette is a nonprofit organization that works to close the gender disparity gap as female artists continue to be underrepresented in museum exhibitions, acquisitions and galleries compared to their male counterparts. The inaugural fair took place during Dallas Arts Week, April 5-9 in 2017, at the former Women\u2019s Museum Building in Fair Park, and was curated by the Dallas Museum of Art\u2019s Chelsea Pierce. The event was on hiatus in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID but returned the year after to Dallas Market Hall. This year, the event debuts in the Design District. <\/p>\n

The Vignette Art Fair is submission-based and curated exhibition-style with all sale proceeds going directly to the artists.<\/p>\n

Adler has more than 20 years of experience in the art world as a curator, speaker, writer, mentor, nonprofit fundraiser and organizational leader. She spent more than a decade as Curator of Paintings, Sculpture, and Works on Paper at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. Prior to the Carter, she held posts at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Williams College Museum of Art, and the Addison Gallery of American Art. Adler now serves as an independent curator. <\/p>\n

\u201cI choose to serve as the 2025 Vignette Art Fair curator, a fair that celebrates women artists, because I believe representation matters,\u201d Adler said of her position at this year\u2019s event. \u201cEvery person who identifies as a woman should be able to envision a world in which who they wish to be is possible. I look forward to fostering their creativity and amplifying their voices for them and for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
