Then there's an emerging dealer who bears watching: Austin-based Dark Dirty Place, whose refreshing grass-roots gusto interjects humor into the ethos of Texas collecting. Cornell, who adds Culture Place director to her existing title, tells PaperCity, "There seems to be no ceiling as to what we can do with Culture Place. We see the audience as very similar to the physical and online Dallas Art Fair. These are collectors of all ranges, from seasoned to new. Due to our preexisting relationships, I think a large percentage in the beginning will be based in the region, but Culture Place will be accessible across the globe. It is uncharted waters, and that's exciting — we can create our own path to success for us and the galleries." Cornell's parting thought: "Buy art now! Living with art brings joy, fosters creativity, and conversation."
