Texas Vignette

Our Mission

The mission of Texas Vignette is to promote, support, and connect women in the arts in Texas.

Our Story

In service of our mission, Texas Vignette presents an annual art fair exclusively featuring works by women artists from Texas. Vignette works to promote exceptional yet under-represented regional talent. Vignette Art Fair is fully submissions-based, with 100% of all sales going directly to the artists.

In literary terms, a vignette is a brief description meant to give a detailed portrayal of a character or scene. One can also use the technique of vignetting in photography to highlight an area of an image that the artist wants the viewer to focus on. In art and graphic design, however, the vignette is a small or repetitive image often placed around borders and relegated to the background, as it is thought of as simply decorative. Vignette Art Fair was conceived along these lines as an alternative fair highlighting talent that has been under-recognized and made ancillary by art institutions and establishments.
