Attention Texas women artists! Texas Vignette today announced a call for entries for its seventh-annual Vignette Art Fair, which will take place Oct. 2-4, 2025, at its new Dallas Design District location, On The Levee (1108 Quaker St., Dallas, TX 75207). The three-day juried event showcases works exclusively by Texas women artists, promoting exceptional yet underrepresented regional talent. Maggie Adler, a veteran museum curator and arts advocate with more than 20 years of experience, will serve as curator for the 2025 Vignette Art Fair (bio below). The fair is free and open to the public Oct. 3-4, with a ticketed Preview Benefit on Oct. 2.

The call-for-entries is now open. Deadline to apply is June 27, and selected artists will be notified by Aug. 1. Submission fee is $36. For qualifications/rules, details, and instructions, go to texasvignette.org/call-artists.

 

100% of Proceeds go directly to the artists

The Vignette Art Fair is unique in that it is fully submission-based, curated in an exhibition-style setting, and solely spotlights the work of women artists. Most significantly, 100% of all sale proceeds go directly to the artists.

Founded in 2017, Texas Vignette seeks to bridge the gender disparity gap, as female artists continue to be underrepresented in museum exhibitions, acquisitions, and galleries compared to their male counterparts. According to various studies, in 2023 works by women artists accounted for just 13% of total auction sales, a slight decrease from 13.8% in 2022. Furthermore, a survey of 18 prominent U.S. art museums found that 87% of the artists represented are male, and only 13.7% of living artists represented by galleries in Europe and North America are women.

Maggie Adler has more than two decades of art world experience as a curator, speaker, writer, mentor, fundraiser and leader. She brings historical art expertise to contemporary projects that support artists and inspire institutional growth. She spent over a decade at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and now works independently, focusing on the connections between historical and contemporary art. Adler previously held roles at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Williams College Museum of Art, and the Addison Gallery of American Art.

Vignette Art Fair will be open with free admission Friday, Oct. 3, from noon-7 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. In addition, a limited number of tickets will be available for purchase to the Preview Benefit on Oct. 2, from 6-9 p.m. The evening will feature live performance works, meet-and-greets with the artists and curator, music, light bites, and an open bar.
