Texas Contemporary
Texas Contemporary is Houston’s leading contemporary and modern art fair that brings the country's best galleries to the area’s discerning collector base. Featuring a range of works and mediums, Texas Contemporary presents what is new in art as well as a focused representation of interests for this unique city.
In October of 2015, Texas Contemporary will build on its years of success, with new dates affording the fair and its city exciting opportunities. Last year, Texas Contemporary's 15,000 visitors, the Houston Chronicle's "savvy crowd of collectors, dealers, curators and artists," were met with dazzling ON-SITE installations, a robust schedule of talks, tours, and events, and access to the best in modern and contemporary art from around the world presented by the country's top dealers. Our fifth edition will continue our notable partnerships with Texas' finest institutions and museums. We're excited to welcome back the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston as our Preview Beneficiary. Last year's Benefit Preview raised over $25,000 for CAMH, and we're thrilled to continue our work with this beloved institution. With the support of the Houston community and the city's galleries and institutions, Texas Contemporary looks forward to returning to the George R. Brown Convention Center for our most compelling year yet.
