What an exciting year it has been for both the art and fashion communities, with the fairs, shows, and cultural events taking place all over the world. As we gather together again for the always-anticipated Dallas Art Fair, it is with great pleasure that I represent Whitewaller as guest editor for the second year in a row.
In this issue, we bring you several handpicked “Insiders”—a great group of individuals who truly capture Dallas’s diverse and culturally growing scene. We lead you to some of the best hotels, bars, restaurants, and shopping destinations, in addition to the top exhibitions and events happening throughout the busy week. We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring you along, so mark your calendars and prepare for a fun-filled week of art, friends, and events!
In these pages, you’ll also find my avatar icon next to establishments that I can recommend firsthand. To quickly touch upon a favorite, the farro bowl with tart black cherries at the new Mirador within Forty Five Ten on Main is worth having time and time again. (And be sure to stop by for a unique shopping experience, too—the boutique’s dressing rooms have adjustable lighting to fit your occasion!) I’m also ever loyal to the exquisite offerings at Bistro 31, Midnight Rambler, and The Joule.
For the ninth edition of the Dallas Art Fair, you can be sure to find me attending an array of art events happening all over the city. Dallas, while true to its diverse and growing local community, is once again welcoming fellow art lovers and friends back to the city for a fun week ahead—and we couldn’t be more delighted.
