Cabinet of Curiosities
In preparation for the upcoming move to a new gallery space, Conduit Gallery is excited to announce Cabinet of Curiosities featuring marvelous, wonderful objet d'art for viewing and purchase. The installation will be open from December 5 - December 20, 2025. After 25 years on Hi Line Drive, Conduit Gallery is relocating to 1845 E Levee Street, Suite 100 in the Dallas Design District—next door to Cris Worley Fine Arts. The first opening in the new gallery space will feature an exhibition of new paintings by Kirk Hayes, along with a group exhibition by gallery artists on Saturday, January 10, 2026. Conduit Gallery has gone through many changes over the years. In 1984, Nancy Whitenack first opened Conduit Gallery on Elm Street in the heart of Deep Ellum. After seven years, the gallery moved to a second Deep Ellum location, this time on the second floor of the Undermain Theatre building at 3200 Main Street, where Michelle Herling Gallery and DW Gallery once resided. In 2002, Conduit Gallery moved to the Dallas Design District on Hi Line Drive with its first opening exhibition featuring a group show of works by James Sullivan, Annabel Daou, Lance Letscher, and Johnny Robertson. This trailblazing move to the Dallas Design District soon inspired many other contemporary art galleries to follow suit, resulting in a vibrant arts community that continues to thrive today. Gallery Director Danette Dufilho joined Conduit Gallery over two decades ago and continues to diligently oversee many of the major operations of the gallery. With a commanding knowledge of contemporary art, along with a deep understanding and connection to the artists represented by the gallery, she also serves as curator of the Project Room—reserved for exhibiting compelling work by emerging artists not represented by the gallery. From its inception in 1984, Conduit Gallery has committed to exhibiting and promoting work by emerging talents and nationally recognized career artists, focusing on artists working in Texas. The gallery’s strength is a dynamic exhibition program of drawing, painting, sculpture, video and installation. The programing goal aims to show substantive, provocative work which addresses current issues such as gender, politics and race—through both figurative and non-objective work— to foster critical conversations about contemporary art.
