Vignette Art Fair 2023
2023 | Dallas Market Hall, Freeway Hall | Dallas, TX
The fifth annual Texas Vignette Art Fair was on view from November 2-4, 2023 held at Freeway Hall inside Dallas Market Hall. This Fair debuted an online sales platform that provided collectors with easy way to purchase artworks. I assisted Vignette’s VP with the development and implementation this platform so that all artists still received 100% of sale proceeds. I managed the 2023 Fair from the start of its planning to its de-installation, including all aspects of communication with our juror, Emily Edwards, the 47 selected artists, and the art handler team to get the 89 works installed in the space.
Vignette Art Fair 2022
2022 | Dallas Market Hall, Freeway Hall | Dallas, TX
The fourth annual Texas Vignette Art Fair was on view from October 13-15, 2022 held at Freeway Hall inside Dallas Market Hall. This Fair was the first after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I was able to manage the 2022 Fair from the start of its planning, immediately following the 2021 pop-up exhibition, including all aspects of communication with our juror, Vicki Meek, and the 54 selected artists to get their 140 works installed in the space.
Texas Vignette Artist Grant Program
2021 | Deep Ellum | Dallas, TX
I had the pleasure of managing the pop-up exhibition featuring the five 2021 Texas Vignette Artist Grant recipients. This grant initiative came in place of 2020’s regular programming, the annual Texas Vignette Art Fair, as a way to continue supporting women artists in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
2021 Artist Grant Recipients
Texas Vignette awarded Haydee Alonso, Ann Johnson, Rehab El Sadek, Lisa E. Harris, and Tammy Melody Gomez as the five recipients of the 2021 Texas Vignette Artist Grant Program. These women artists received a grant of $2,000 and participated in the pop-up exhibition on May 14th and 15th, 2021.
truly, madly
2017 | Murchison Performing Arts Center | Denton, TX
truly, madly is feeling wholeheartedly however shallow or deep. In this series of collaborative photographs by Kasumi Chow and Desiree Espada, the artists construct single colorful frames of common objects juxtaposed by portraits of young women, teetering between anxiety and euphoria. The photographs are glazed with mild angst, impulse, and deliberately awkward situations. There is a vanitas-laden visual syntax at work. However, these contemporary still lifes are more visually succinct in their delivery than their predecessors. A lopped off pony tail stands on its own upon a bright yellow backdrop, chola-style nails offer fist-fulls of lifeless gelatinous gummy worms, a ring pop is cast off into a glass of champagne. These works are not about eternal preservation or nature morte, but rather about unapologetically living in the moment, where humor and sorrow intersect all in the same square.
This exhibition was presented in partnership with The Public Trust. The above statement is that of the artists.
