The third annual Houston Fine Art Fair is a globally driven event from Sept. 19-22, 2013 at Houston’s George R. Brown Convention Center. Houston is the fourth largest city in America and is well known for diversity in population, which is reflected in its art collecting trends.

Cuba, China, Argentina, Korea, UK, Ecuador, Mexico, Italy, France, Colombia, Venezuela, Switzerland and Spain are represented on an international level. HFAF and the Galleries Association of Korea have collaborated to create the Korean Art Pavilion featuring 14 notable galleries from Korea, making HFAF one of the most globally reaching art fairs in the US this year.

Showcasing an impressive selection of Latin American art, from geometric abstraction to cutting edge contemporary

Houston has emerged as a vibrant market in collecting top-tier Latin American art. The city is now one of the collecting-hotbeds in the world for this genre. This trend has been championed by the Museum of Fine Art Houston, which recently announced plans to build a new Museum location to showcase only their collecætion of Latin American art. MFAH established a The Latin Maecenas in 2002, a group specifically dedicated to collecting important Latin American Art.

HFAF will present 33 dealers from South America, Latin America, Mexico, Cuba and Miami showing Latin American Art, to satisfy the demand for this genre. This representation makes HFAF the largest showcase of Latin American art in the US this year, outside of NYC and Miami. These galleries will be showing works from emerging and established artists including collections from 308 Arte Contemporaneo, Aldo de Sousa Gallery, Arevalo Gallery, Ascaso Gallery, Buenos Aires Fine Arts, Cernuda Arte, Collage Habana Gallery, DPM Gallery, Drexel Galeriea, Elite Fine Art Galleries, Galeria Alfredo Ginocchio, Galeria Baobab, Galeria Moro, Galeria Rubbers Internacio, La Casona, Luis Perez Galeria, Now Contemporary Art, Pan American Art Projects, Patricia CondeGaleria, The Americas Collection and Villa Manuela Art Gallery.
