Houston's art scene intertwines deep modernist spirituality, provocative public monuments, and global, diverse collections amid the city's petroleum-industrial backdrop.
Houston is stepping confidently into the global art spotlight. The launch of Untitled Art's first edition in the city marks a pivotal moment for its creative scene, transforming perceptions of Houston as merely an oil-and-energy hub into a destination for serious collectors, curators, and cultural seekers. Taking place September 19-21 at the George R. Brown Convention Center, with a VIP preview on September 18, the fair arrives with a carefully curated approach that sets it apart from sprawling, commercial art events.
