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 in 1998, realizing the need for a contemporary gallery in Austin and he introduced a collection of works by Picasso, 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 in the country.
The gallery also showcases original contemporary works that don’t fit any genre, from Byron May’s incredible 3 dimensional paintings on stainless steel to Paul Stankiewicz’s funky take on Austin’s iconic landmarks. With a rotating stable of over 40 artists, ART on 5th offers a wide variety of artistic styles to suit any taste.
