Support women artists in Texas through the return of Vignette Art Fair with your gift on North Texas Giving Day.
For emerging artists, 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.
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 female artists working in Texas, promoting exceptional yet under-represented regional talent.
In February 2021, Texas Vignette awarded our first ever artist grants to five deserving women artists. This grant initiative was presented in lieu of the 2020 Vignette Art Fair as a way to continue supporting women artists during the COVID-19 pandemic. Five grant recipients were selected from nearly 140 applicants. They each received $2,000 and had their work featured in a two-day group pop-up exhibition in spring 2021.
We are excited to announce the return of the Vignette Art Fair this fall, but we need your generous contributions to be able to continue to provide women artists working in Texas with the opportunity to exhibit their work. This year the Fair will be held from November 2nd through November 4th and will showcase women artists from across the state. 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 and where 100% of all sales go directly to the artists.
Each Year, NTGD is one of our largest fundraisers for the year, and helps to supplement over 10% of our budget. This year, we hope to raise at least $10,000 on North Texas Giving Day to help offset expenses for the return of Vignette Art Fair and the hopeful continuation of the artist grant program.
We need your support!
