"Houston is stepping confidently into the global art spotlight. The launch of Untitled Art's first edition in the city marks a pivotal moment for its creative scene, transforming perceptions of Houston as merely an oil-and-energy hub into a destination for serious collectors, curators, and cultural seekers. Taking place September 19-21 at the George R. Brown Convention Center, with a VIP preview on September 18, the fair arrives with a carefully curated approach that sets it apart from sprawling, commercial art events."
"While Untitled Art has become a staple in Miami, Houston's debut will reflect a more intimate and locally tuned format. Director Michael Slenske has emphasized that this edition will lean into Houston's unique identity, framing the fair as a showcase for the city's distinctive blend of cultural heritage, innovation, and emerging talent. "Houston is a real artists' city. What we're doing in Houston is different from Miami," Slenske shared in a recent interview, underlining the fair's commitment to spotlighting the city's creative core."
Untitled Art launches its first Houston edition September 19–21 at the George R. Brown Convention Center, with a VIP preview on September 18. The fair adopts a boutique, locally tuned format distinct from its Miami edition, emphasizing Houston's cultural heritage, innovation, and emerging talent. Director Michael Slenske described the event as leaning into Houston's unique identity and spotlighting the city's creative core. Architect Jay Colombo of Michael Hsu Office of Architecture designed a floor plan organized around plazas and pods instead of rigid aisles to create gathering spaces that invite conversation, slow looking, and community engagement. The fair aims to connect collectors, museums, galleries, and artist-run spaces while advancing Houston's global art profile.
