Black Art in America™ Brings Its Acclaimed Fine Art Print Fair Back to Houston, February 6–8, 2026

Black Art in America™ (BAIA) is proud to announce the next stop of its celebrated BAIA Fine Art Print Fair, arriving in Houston, Texas, and hosted by the Houston Museum of African American Culture (HMAAC) from February 6–8. Building on the success of previous fairs in Atlanta, Houston and Washington, D.C —where hundreds of collectors, first-time buyers, and art lovers gathered to engage with the rich legacy of Black printmaking—this Houston edition expands BAIA’s mission to make fine art accessible.

The BAIA Fine Art Print Fair is a dynamic, three-day event showcasing limited-edition fine art prints and original works on paper from hundreds of artists spanning from the Harlem Renaissance to some of today’s most compelling African American artists and master printmakers. Explore the various forms of printmaking; screenprints, woodcuts, linocuts, lithographs, etchings, monoprints, and more as the fair brings together museum-level works at collector-friendly price points.

This year’s Houston fair spotlights four standout artists whose practices deepen the visual tradition of Black printmaking: Traci Mims, known for bold, politically incisive relief prints exploring resistance and identity, with works held in major collections including The Coca-Cola Company and The Legacy Museum; Jamaal Barber, the Virginia-born, Alabama-raised, Atlanta-shaped printmaker celebrated for expressive, layered compositions, with commissions for The New York Times and illustrations for Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize–winning The Underground Railroad; Katrina Andry, the New Orleans–based artist whose large-scale, hand-carved woodcuts confront race, power, and colorism; and Michael Ellison (1952–2001), a master innovator whose experimental techniques and rhythm-infused abstractions continue to influence contemporary printmaking.

Past BAIA Print Fairs have drawn audiences nationwide, ranging from seasoned collectors to families encountering fine art prints for the first time. Programming will include artist talks, live printmaking demonstrations, guided tours, and more! Join us for a unique opportunity to make meaningful connections and collect investable art!
