Dallas / Fort Worth Art Galleries

These the private contemporary art galleries in the Metroplex area that I visit. I list serious, full-time, CONTEMPORARY galleries with monthly rotating exhibits. There are other art galleries with imported oils, old masters and such. I don't list them because I just don't visit often. You can find them via the art dealers association links.

The DF/W gallery scene is strong. Many galleries have moved to the Dragon Street / Design District. The galleries are free, but of course they would not mind if you buy art! The work on the walls is for sale. Unless noted, the gallery has free parking available in a lot or on the street.
