The annual Dallas Art Fair, now in its 12th year, has announced its exhibitor list and special programming for 2020. The fair will take place April 16-19 at its usual digs: Dallas’ Fashion Industry Gallery (f.i.g.), downtown in the museum district. There are 96 listed exhibitors (one more than in 2019); most exhibitors are returnees, including Karma (New York), Marlborough (New York and London), and Perrotin (Paris, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong and Shanghai).
In our coverage and reviews of past art fairs, we’ve mentioned some notable exhibitors and non-returning galleries. For 2020, Dallas-based Barry Whistler Gallery, Valley House Gallery, Conduit Gallery, and Erin Cluley are among those participating. Some national and international galleries will not return, including Lisson Gallery (London, New York), Sadie Coles HQ (London), Blain|Southern (London,Berlin, NYC), Gallery Henoch and Marvin Gardens (both New York), and Parrasch Heijnen (Los Angeles).
New exhibitors this year include Carlos/Ishikawa (London), Kamel Mennour (Paris, London), Rodolphe Janssen (Brussels), and Bill Arning Exhibitions (Houston).

Also new this year: an exhibition of North Texan art, co-curated by Justine Ludwig (Creative Time’s Executive Director; formerly a curator at the Dallas Contemporary) and Brandon Kennedy (Dallas Art Fair Director of Exhibitor Relations). HERE NOW: North Texas Artists in 2020 will present an ever-expanding survey of the Dallas art scene, and includes a book of collected North Texan artist studio visit essays from Patron, a Dallas-based culture magazine and co-presenter of HERE NOW.
The Dallas Art Fair Foundation Acquisition Program continues this year with a six-figure grant that allows the Dallas Museum of Art to purchase multiple works from the fair. Now in its fifth year, the program over the years has raised $600,000, with more than 30 artworks being acquired for the DMA’s permanent collection, including works by Sheila Hicks, Don Dudley, Sanford Biggers, and Katherine Bradford.
Some Dallas institution exhibitions coinciding with fair: the DMA’s For a Dreamer of Houses, a group show featuring works by Alex Da Corte, Francisco Moreno, and Do Ho Suh; the Nasher Sculpture Center’s Magali Reus’s exhibition; and Dallas Contemporary’s Liu Xiaodong and Dame Vivienne Westwood shows, with the works by Italian fashion photographer Paolo Roversi. 214 Projects, the Dallas Art Fair’s exhibition space in the Design District, will open a group show curated by Sean Kelly Gallery (NYC).
