Artistic women to benefit

With a mission to promote, support and connect Texas women in the arts, Texas Vignette will host its fifth annual event on Friday, Nov. 3, and Saturday, Nov. 4, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at Dallas Market Hall (2200 N. Stemmons Fwy., in Dallas). The two-day juried event will feature 89 works of art by 47 women artists hailing from 23 cities representing Texas’ deep-rooted cultural terrain. Texas Vignette works to close the gender disparity gap as female artists are not nearly as represented in museum exhibitions, acquisitions and galleries compared to their male counterparts. One hundred percent of all sales go directly to the artists. A limited number of tickets are available for a VIP preview on Thursday, Nov. 2, from 7-9 p.m. The evening will feature live performance works, meet-and-greets with the artists, an open bar and passed hors d’oeuvres.
