It’s official. We’re the third best art gallery in the Dallas-Ft.Worth area, and Number One in Tarrant County! In fact, art251 was the only gallery in Tarrant County to make the top 5.

We beat out many bigger name, established galleries and art spaces. So, considering we’ve only been around for just under a year, we are ecstatic and humbled.

So, a very BIG thank you, no THANK YOU! to all our loyal customers and friends. Many of you voted for us in the WFAA poll, and we enjoyed reading all the wonderful reviews as well! And thank you WFAAList on WFAA.com for running the 2009 Best of the Best A-List contest, with 60,485 voters from all over North Texas!

Wondering what all the hoopla! is about? Well, we have an exhibit by Trish Biddle, a local and nationally recognized artist. We’re featuring a range of her decadently stylish originals and prints. The show runs until August 8. Also, we’re home to the only art-o-mat in North Texas. And, of course, we’re a beautiful shell housing original works from over 40 talented local artists who work in clay, oil, ceramic, silver, wood, glass, polymer, ink, fabric and more.

Our new exhibit – Art of Style – kicks off with the Opening Reception on Friday July 10 from 6-9pm.

It?s free, there?s food and wine and soda, and best of all there?s some gorgeously stylish art from nationally recognized, local artist Trish Biddle. She?ll be with us as well, painting live.

Trish Biddle is an accomplished painter with a strong sense of design and a well-defined style, featuring broad romantic strokes and vibrant color. Her unmistakable Art Deco figurative paintings with a modern twist capture the fashion, sophistication and simplicity of the era. Recently, her distinctive talent has earned her the titles of? Official Artist of the 2009 Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, Official Artist of the 2009 Westminster Dog Show and Official Artist of the 2008 Kentucky Derby.

We invite you to come and immerse yourself in Trish Biddle?s unique world of style. Also, a portion of all sales will be donated to Young Artists of Texas.
The exhibit runs until August 13, 2009.?
