Support women artists in Texas through the 2026 Vignette Art Fair with your gift on North Texas Giving Day.
Texas Vignette is dedicated to supporting, promoting, and connecting women in the arts in Texas. In service of its mission, Texas Vignette presents an annual art fair exclusively featuring works by women artists working in Texas, promoting exceptional yet under-represented regional talent.
We are excited to announce the return of the Vignette Art Fair this fall. Still, we need your generous contributions to continue providing women artists working in Texas with the opportunity to exhibit their work. The 2026 Vignette Art Fair, curated by Alison de Lima Greene, the Isabel Brown Wilson Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, will take place from September 30th through October 3rd at On The Levee and will showcase up to 75 women artists from across the state.
The Vignette Art Fair provides women artists from across the state with an opportunity to exhibit and sell their work, helping them build a successful and sustainable art career in Texas. It is significant to note that the Vignette Art Fair is the only art fair in the world that solely features the work of women artists, and where 100% of all sales go directly to the artists.
Each Year, North Texas Giving Day is one of our largest fundraisers, helping to supplement over 20% of our budget. This year, we hope to raise at least $10,000 on North Texas Giving Day to help offset expenses for Vignette Art Fair.
We need your support!
The mission of Texas Vignette is to promote, support, and connect women in the arts in Texas.
Following the privatization of Fair Park in 2019, Vignette lost affordable access to the former Women’s Museum and now must seek market-rate private venues. Commercial venues such as the 2026 host, On The Levee, also require additional production costs such as the construction of portable walls for hanging artworks. Other operational expenses continue to grow as Texas Vignette strategically builds capacity and reach.
For emerging artists, gaining momentum and the pathway to a sustainable career depends largely on elusive opportunities to exhibit, yet there continues to be a large gender disparity in terms of museum exhibitions, acquisitions, and gallery representation. In response, Jessica Ingle developed Vignette Art Fair in 2017 to bridge this gap and provide women artists with the opportunity to exhibit their work. After a successful first run of the Fair, the 501c3 organization, Texas Vignette, was formed later that year to continue the annual tradition of the Fair and expand program offerings to further the mission of promoting, supporting, and connecting women in the arts in Texas.
In service of our mission, Texas Vignette presents an annual art fair exclusively featuring works by women artists from Texas in order to promote exceptional yet under-represented regional talent. Vignette Art Fair is fully submissions-based and works with a different Texas woman juror/curator for each Fair to select the included artists and determine the layout of the show. It is significant to note that Vignette Art Fair is the only art fair in the world that solely features the work of women artists. Furthermore, Texas Vignette does not take a commission from sales, therefore featured artists receive the full sale amount for their artwork.
