Local artist joined us in the booth at the 2022 fair. His black and white images are often humorous, but his superb use of line weight and composition give these woodcuts a sense of gravitas. The combination means he often sells out at shows, so if you see a piece you like, be sure to grab it fast!

Thank you for joining us at the fair!

“The Fort Worth Art Fair provided a space for so many local artists to be seen by collectors and gallerists. As art friendly as Fort Worth is, there has been a lack of direction for independent full time artists and the Art Fair delivered that. It’s beyond beneficial for artists to interact with galleries and curators in a fair setting, and for art patrons to see their favorite artist’s work in an elevated setting if they haven’t before. Events like this give creatives the confidence that’s needed in the art world. I hope Fort Worth is presented with more opportunities like the Art Fair!” -

Thank you Sarah for joining us at the 2022 Fort Worth Art Fair!

Thank you Caya for joining us at the 2022 Fort Worth Art Fair!

"The Fort Worth Art Fair was our gallery's first adventure into the world of Art Fairs. To our pleasant surprise, this event turned out to be not only exciting and invigorating, but also such a beneficial event for the Dallas and Fort Worth community at large. One of the aspects of the fair that we enjoyed most was the exposure to local artists and galleries it brought. We were happy to see the momentum leading up to the days of the fair and the crowds that were present all weekend. Combining music and art in a single event was a beautiful marriage of visual and performing arts and a testament to the magic of the fine arts as a whole. The Fort Worth Art Fair was both educational and thoughtful. The dialogue and conversations amongst patrons, artists, and galleries was a pleasant reminder of why we pursued careers in the arts. Being able to expose so many to the arts was inspiring.The professionalism of the Fort Worth Art Fair committee members, Sundance Square, and the art fair hosts instilled a great appreciation for the beauty of a partnership between investors and creatives and how placing humanity first creates successful outcomes for all. We are truly grateful for this experience and hope that the FWAF continues to be a positive influence for DFW for years to come. We look forward to watching this art endeavor grow and continue to be a light within our world of art."

“The Fort Worth Art Fair was a great opportunity for local artists to be seen. To be heard. To be felt. We put so much of our hearts and time into our works.

The Fort Worth Arts Fair helped legitimize local artists who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to showcase their works to larger audiences.” -

Huge thank you to local artist Gerald Bell for joining us at the 2022 Fort Worth Art Fair!

“It was a privilege and joy to be a part of the inaugural Fort Worth Art Fair. I had the opportunity to show my art with a diverse and talented group of Texas artists and galleries who make me proud to be a part of this community. I also enjoyed volunteering and getting to interact with everyone at the fair - seeing their interest and reactions to our work reminded me of why art is so important. Grateful to be included and to everyone who came out and supported!” - .art

Thank you to Brenda for joining us at the 2022Fort Worth Art Fair!

“To be seen, to be heard, to sell your work as an artist is validating. To see a person’s face positively light up seeing my work makes me want to make MORE WORK! The Fort Worth Art Fair builds a sense of an artist community working together for good. Artists are here!

Building a strong arts community or culture should not be only about looking to our past culture, bringing in outside culture, but fostering the growth and success of our living and making artists here making culture right now in this city.” -

Huge thank you 🙏 to local artist Amy Jones Jenkins for joining us at the 2022 Fort Worth Art Fair in 💃

“The Fort Worth Art Fair helped Fort Worth more than the average Fort Worthian thinks. It wasn’t just another event, it was a chance to show how great Fort Worth and its artists are.

Artists are everywhere. Artists designed your home, your clothes, your cars, and even your way of living, a lot, and it just gets shrugged off. The Fort Worth Art Fair was a chance for unknown artists like me to show their work in a setting that I wouldn’t ever think possible. I’m grateful I was a part of it. I’m grateful to have experienced it. More importantly, I’m grateful that the Fort Worth Art Fair recognized what many shrug off every day: art.”

Thank you to for joining us at the Fort Worth Art Fair in !

Artist moved to Fort Worth last year, and we are proud to call him a local artist! He works in multiple mediums including photography and sculpture. If you stopped by the art fair you probably remember his incredibly detailed tumbleweed sculpture. Bale has created a space for nationally and internationally renowned artists in Fort Worth with and we encourage you to stop by his next opening on May 21st.

You can feel the love in local artist ’s paintings. Bright colors highlight scenes of friendship, family ties, and moments of daily life.

Enrique’s work was shown in the gallery at the 2022 fair and we were thrilled to have him.

Been scrolling on your phone for too long? Local artist ’s work is a reminder to look up! There’s beauty in our cities, our lives, our world that often gets missed in the shuffle. So if you take anything from this artist, remember to look for the beauty all around you.

Local artist tells stories of forgotten people in her portraits. Her initial introduction to painting came from her childhood in Japan where her Father taught her the joy of traditional calligraphy. Now in her 70’s, Kumiko has shown her work in multiple shows, including in the booth at the 2022 art fair!

Fort Worth artist creates work that honors and highlights the beauty of nature. Jan’s pieces bring out the beauty of living plants that surround us, but are easy to overlook day-to-day. For today let Jan’s work inspire you to look at trees from a fresh point of view.

Thank you to the for bringing Jan Ayers Friedman’s work to the fair.

Local artist specializes in western paintings with her own unique twist. Her work certainly captures the beauty of the west, but it also shows the reality and humor of life with livestock and cactus.

You may have spotted Jo’s work at the fair in the booth or on the big screens in one of our artist documentaries.

Artist Adam Palmer’s () introduction to color and composition came in the form of Saturday morning cartoons. You can still see this influence in his drawings, prints and sculptures that capture a feeling of childhood energy and wonder.

Thanks to for bringing Adam Palmer’s work to the 2022 Fort Worth Art Fair.
