About TEXAS VIGNETTE

Mission Statement

Texas Vignette derives its name from a variety of aesthetic sources. 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. Texas Vignette was conceived along these lines as an organization which highlights talent that has been under-recognized and made ancillary by art institutions and establishments.

Description

In service of our mission, Texas Vignette presents an annual Art Fair exclusively featuring works by women artists from Texas in order to promote exceptional yet under-represented regional talent. Vignette Art Fair is fully submissions-based and works with a different Texas woman juror/curator for each Fair to select the included artists and determine the layout of the show. It is significant to note that Vignette Art Fair is the only art fair in the world that solely features the work of women artists and where 100% of all sales go directly to the artists.
