One of the best art cities in the States, Dallas recently hosted its eighth edition of the Dallas Art Fair with a string of cultural events that included museum openings, collection previews, concerts and performances. This year 97 galleries from 17 countries participated in the fair with artists,gallerists, collectors, art advisers and museum directors and curators turning the Fashion Industry Gallery and related Dallas art venues into the place to be and be scene. From the openings of the Power Station and Dallas Contemporary to previews at the Dallas Art Fair and the Karpidas Collection, we were there to capture the fun. WM
