Dallas is set to host the seventh-annual Vignette Art Fair from October 2-4, 2025, exclusively featuring the works of Texas women artists.

Selected artists will be notified of their acceptance by August 1, 2025, and there is a $36 submission fee for those wishing to participate.

The Vignette Art Fair is free for the public on October 3-4, 2025, providing an opportunity for attendees to explore and appreciate the creativity of women artists from Texas. A ticketed Preview Benefit will kick off the event on October 2, 2025, giving early access to artworks and contributing to the nonprofit’s goals. Texas Vignette is dedicated to addressing gender disparities in the art world, which it aims to achieve through the showcase of exceptional yet often underrepresented regional talent.
In its previous editions, the Vignette Art Fair has attracted diverse talents, with the last event featuring works from 37 selected artists out of over 200 applications. The fair emphasizes a dynamic range and bold vision in the submissions it receives, representing various cities across Texas, including Amarillo, Austin, Dallas, Denton, Houston, Nacogdoches, and San Antonio. Such representation is part of the organizational mission to close the gender gap in art, ensuring visibility for female artists.
The organizational focus extends beyond the upcoming fair to its prior event, the 2024 Vignette Art Fair, scheduled for October 17-19, 2024 at Dallas Market Hall. This previous fair showcased 86 artworks by nearly 40 artists, continuing the tradition of highlighting the work of women in the arts. The unique, submission-based nature of the Vignette Art Fair sets it apart from other art events, fostering an environment where talent can be discovered and celebrated.
Artists interested in showcasing their work at the 2025 event are encouraged to prepare their submissions before the June deadline, contributing to a festival designed to uplift and highlight women’s contributions to the arts in Texas.
