Art on 5th

Austin’s largest contemporary gallery (over 6,000 square feet), is proud of its eclectic collection of artists and its museum-like setting. As the only commercial gallery ever voted “Best in Austin,” and multiple times at that, Austinites and visitors alike continue to applaud the colorful and diverse gathering of local, Texas, national and international artists. Gallery owner Joe Sigel opened the gallery almost 10 years ago, realizing the need for a contemporary gallery in Austin and he introduced a collection of works by Picasso, Miro, Andy Warhol and others. Since then the gallery has evolved along with Austin’s constantly changing tastes, and now carries one of the largest collections of the Secret Art of Dr. Seuss. The gallery also showcases original contemporary works that don’t fit any genre, from Daniella Foletto’s prehistoric cave horse paintings to Cynthia Chartier’s mixed media figures, to Paul Stankiewicz’s side-show hand-crank paintings.

Along with its ongoing exhibits of framed artwork, ART on 5th welcomes touring exhibitions from Washington, Chicago and Montreal, to name a few. The gallery has also hosted the artwork of Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones, Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane and other notable musician/ artists. In addition to an amazing selection of fine art, ART on 5th is also the premier custom framer of choice in town. The gallery has carefully chosen a huge selection of frames from over ten different suppliers to ensure that they have the perfect design for your project.
