Friends Fair is a new hotel art fair with a mix of Austin-based and national galleries. Debuting on May 15–17 at The Loren at Lady Bird Lake, the fair encompasses two floors of the hotel, with each of the ten participating galleries curating a room. Gallery 12.26 (Dallas, Los Angeles), Dutton (New York), Half Gallery (New York), Inman Gallery (Houston), and Megan Mulrooney Gallery (Los Angeles), join Austin’s grayDUCK, Ivester Contemporary, Martha’s, McLennon Pen Co., and Northern–Southern. Project suites are curated by Taylor Danielle Davis, and SAGE Studio & Gallery. The Loren at Lady Bird Lake is renowned for its dedication to the arts—a perfect host. The hotel boasts an impressive art collection and has actively supported cultural programming, including exhibitions at the nearby historic Paggi House over the past year. A number of events will be announced, including talks, performances, and a group art run with Austin’s Artist Run Club.
