The fair’s second edition and new acquisition prizes were announced this week, including a new $25,000 acquisition prize from Public Art of the University of Houston System.

The University of Houston’s Blaffer Art Museum is proud to announce a collaboration with Houston-based artist Erika Blumenfeld — the artist will be in residence at the museum from June 2-Aug. 1, developing new work in advance of a major survey exhibition at the Blaffer.

The prizes include an aquisition award from Public Art of the University of Houston System and will provide a combined amount as much as $113,200 for acquisitions at the fair.
