""We have a great return rate and list of returning galleries every year, and strong desire from others to get in," Kelly Cornell, the fair's director, said during Thursday's VIP preview. "We think it's due to the market and that they're able to place work here.""
"Local buyers may acquire only one or two works annually, but will wait to make those purchases at the Dallas Art Fair, reinforcing its role as a focal point for the city's market."
"The art institutions in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex are among the most important in the state and region, and the opportunity to connect with their directors, curators and board members is a selling point for participating dealers."
"This year, the Dallas Museum of Art acquired six works for its permanent collection through a combination of the Dallas Art Fair Foundation and the museum's own acquisition fund."
The Dallas Art Fair is experiencing stability with a consistent number of exhibitors, around 90, and fewer departures compared to previous years. The fair's director noted a strong return rate of galleries, indicating a healthy market. Local collectors are deliberate in their purchases, often acquiring only one or two works annually, which reinforces the fair's significance. The Dallas Museum of Art made notable acquisitions during the fair, spending $100,000 on six works, highlighting the event's importance for local art institutions.
