Collecting art is like raising race horses: a real knack for it is rare and you need a ton of money to raise a good one. But unlike speedy thoroughbreds, it’s never to late to take up an interest in building your collection or window shop. This weekend the Dallas Art Fair takes of the Fashion Industry Gallery, 1807 Ross Ave., with 93 exhibiting art galleries from all over the world. Discover new artists, strike up conversations with gallerists and get started on dumping all that “art” you bought at a furniture store because it matches your couch. The Fair is open 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday through Sunday and tickets start at $25. Visit dallasartfair.com. Photo: RO2 Art
Fri., April 11, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: April 11. Continues through April 13, 2014
