After a landmark inaugural year, Untitled Art is returning to the Bayou City for its second edition this fall. Following its successful expansion from Miami, the boutique fair will once again take over the George R. Brown Convention Center with a curation of international galleries, collectors, and artists alongside panels, podcast recordings, and more.
The fair’s return follows an impressive 2025 debut that saw six-figure sales from galleries like Sicardi | Ayers | Bacino and Jessica Silverman.
The second annual Untitled Art fair in Houston is scheduled from October 2 – October 4, 2026. Based at the George R. Brown Convention Center, the fair will expand its program from its debut last year. While the full exhibitor list has yet to be released, the festival will likely feature between 60 – 70 galleries.
Furthermore, its programming will include a range of panels, live podcast recordings, artist-led projects, and culinary activations.
“Houston has proven to be a vital artery for the contemporary art market, blending a deep institutional history with a bold, global future,” said Jeffrey Lawson, founder of Untitled Art, in a press release. “We are thrilled to return and deepen our commitment to the city’s creative community.”
The 2026 Untitled Art Fair in Houston will once again feature the Nest sector. As debuted this past year, the Nest is a sector dedicated to local artists and collectives, emerging galleries, as well as the Houston Artist Market.
“Houston continues to assert itself as a cultural capital of the South, and the inaugural edition confirmed that there is a serious and attentive audience invested in contemporary art from local, national, and international dealers alike,” adds Michael Slenske, Director of Untitled Art, Houston. “We saw strong attendance from collectors and institutions, alongside a broader public that was deeply engaged at the fair and with our VIP programming.”
Untitled Art 2026 will run from October 2 to October 4. An invite-only VIP and Press Preview event will take place on October 1. Beyond the fall event, Untitled Art plans to invest in year-long Houston programming. The 39th Art Car Parade will feature commissioned collaborations with multiple artists.
