DALLAS, TX.- The seventh annual Dallas Art Fair, presented by Ruinart Champagne, will feature nearly 100 prominent national and international art dealers and galleries drawn from 22 cities. The fair will return from April 9th-12th, 2015, to the Fashion Industry Gallery (f.i.g.), located at 1807 Ross Avenue in the dynamic Downtown Arts District.

“This year's fair will feature our largest and most diverse selection of exhibitors to date," says Chris Byrne, co-founder of the Dallas Art Fair. “Many of the world’s leading galleries will debut in our city for the very first time.”
