Artspace111, a gallery located at the northeast edge of downtown Fort Worth, recently announced its expansion with the opening of Love Texas Art, a gallery that will be located in the heart of downtown. This new space marks the third gallery to open on Houston Street in less than a year, with Dang Good Candy debuting in June 2021 and Bale Creek Allen in September.
Love Texas Art will be a gallery dedicated to showcasing both Artspace111 artists and Texas-based artists. With about 4,000-square-feet of space, the gallery will include a retail shop featuring branded merchandise, artists prints, and original small works by Texas artists. Additionally, there will be a lounge serving beer and wine.
