Overview

  • The inaugural Houston fair opened to the public Sept. 19–21 after a Sept. 18 VIP preview at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
  • Roughly 88 galleries from five continents are exhibiting, including 11 Houston spaces ranging from newcomers like Laura to longtime Moody Gallery.
  • Organizers emphasize a Houston-specific identity, with director Michael Slenske calling it an artists’ fair distinct from the Miami edition.
  • The floor plan by Jay Colombo of Michael Hsu Office of Architecture uses plazas, pods and wide aisles to encourage conversation and slower viewing.
  • Early sales were reported during previews, including multiple works sold at Colector, as programming spans panels, live podcast recordings, a local marketplace and citywide performances.
