Cool new Houston Art Fair draws up more than 40 rising stars for 3-day market
With its myriad world class museums and art organizations, Houston is known globally as a city for visual arts, and our wealth of stellar galleries also makes H-town a prime art market for collectors.
But in post-pandemic times, we have lost a few of our popular — and just generally fun — collecting opportunities. Those big art events that brought art-lovers across the city together to see, be seen, and nab that perfect piece, are few and far between.
But now, art fans can rejoice, as the new — and entirely homegrown — Houston Art Fair makes its art mark on the city. Presented at Reeves Art + Design from Friday, January 26 through Sunday, January 28, the Houston Art Fair will showcase 40 up-and-coming contemporary artists bringing their best and latest work directly to collectors.

Three passionate Lancaster based freelance artists, Hannah Corbett, Lidia Ranns, and Julie Evans, are uniting their creative forces to transform the city into a vibrant hub of artistic expression with the expanded Lancaster Art Fair (LAF), running from August 19th to 23rd, 2025.
This year, LAF is evolving into a larger, city wide festival, thanks to their dedicated collaboration and partnerships with established local arts organisations.

On the plane back from Miami, I add up expenses versus income from this year’s Untitled Art Fair. It is our third year here, and our first bust. As a small Midwestern gallery, two major art fairs a year — Untitled in Miami and the Outsider Art Fair in New York — can generate a quarter of our annual income. Even more importantly, they help us develop a national collector base for regional artists. There is no other way to survive.
It is expensive to participate in more selective and carefully curated international fairs, such as Untitled. Our three-walled, 14 x 14-foot space cost $17,400. Housing for the staff, transportation, food, and additional framing rounded out the total to about $30,000.
