    DiverseWorks ArtSpace presents State Fair. Curated by Diane Barber. Opening reception: Friday, September 9, 2011, 6-9pm. Market days: Saturday, September 17, 12-6pm & Saturday, October 22, 12-6pm. On view September 9-October 29, 2011.

    Join DiverseWorks ArtSpace as they kick off the 2011-2012 Season with an opening reception for State Fair. State Fair is a public spectacle that takes as its inspiration the construct of a contemporary art fair and merges it with the age-old tradition of street peddling. Organized to coincide Houston’s first-ever public art fairs, The Houston Fine Art Fair in September and the Texas Contemporary in October, State Fair is an arts-centric trade show with a twist in which artists from around the state will inhabit the gallery with public projects that explore the notion of street commerce, underground exchange, and alternate economies that defy the strictures of the commercial art economy.
