About Reeves Art + Design

Reeves Art + Design is the largest family-owned and operated Houston art gallery located in the historic Midtown/Montrose district of Houston, TX. Founded in 1969, we have been providing a quality selection of fine art for over 50 years. While we offer a lot of pieces by international artists, we specialize in modern and contemporary fine art and design, highlighting works of both emerging and established local Houston Artists and craftsmen. Our art and design gallery is carefully curated and all of our pieces are sourced and stored with the utmost care and attention to detail. If there is a specific piece you are looking for, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Where are you located?

Our art gallery is located at 2415 Taft St, Houston, TX 77006.

We currently house our pieces in two buildings. Please take note that we have three main entrances to the galleries. To visit our exhibition gallery, feel free to enter through Fairview St. or Taft St. If you are wanting to see more of our pieces in the inventory and our furniture pieces, please enter through Taft St. towards Hyde Park.

What are your current operating times?

Our art gallery is open from 10AM–5PM Monday through Saturday. If you would like to reach us outside our usual operating times, please feel free to send us an email at [email protected].

What opportunities do you have for artists/creatives?

We offer our 10,000-square-foot exhibition and events space or a portion of it for a rental fee. Being the largest art gallery in Houston, our space and location is the perfect place for art to get some well-deserved exposure that would further lead to building or maintaining relationships with art collectors. Over the past few years, we have hosted events such as fashion shows, project launches, and culinary affairs. Our space is flexible enough to host a wide variety of activities and gatherings. If this is something that you are looking into, please send us more information about your event and we are very happy to look into it.

Do you buy or take things on consignment?

Yes! We are happy to take a look at any art that you may have available. Please send photos of any pieces to [email protected] and we will let you know if they fit what we are looking for as soon as possible.

If we are interested in moving forward, we will negotiate a price that will be paid to you when the piece sells. We have found over the years that this system works better instead of a percentage based system because we don’t have to constantly call the consignors anytime a customer makes an offer. This makes it easier on everyone! If you have any further questions please feel free to email us or give us a call at 713.523.5577.

I know exactly what I’m looking for, can you help me find it?

Yes! If you have an idea of what you’re looking for, send us some general notes or some ideas and we will be happy to send over what pieces we have available that fit your needs. Please keep in mind that we also make custom pieces of furniture, so do not hesitate to send over your ideas!

Can the entire Reeves Design + Art collection be viewed online?

Almost! When you have over 5,000 works of art, it is a huge undertaking to have everything available online. We have been working tirelessly over the past few years to have all of our collections online, but it still takes time to process new pieces. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please just let us know!

Will you ship purchases to me? How does shipping work?

Of course! We are always happy to help organize the shipping and delivery of any piece from the gallery no matter how small or large.

  • Small Pieces: If we feel comfortable shipping a piece through the mail, we usually use UPS or FedEx, depending on the rates and shipping times. Factors such as destination, excessive weight, or fragility may affect the final costs.
  • Larger Items: For larger items, we can also arrange for white glove shipping with our network of carriers. We work with a number of different reliable shippers that allow us to ship throughout the country so please just reach out for a customized shipping quote.
  • International shipping: We are also happy to work with international clients, but at this time all international shipments must be priced out on an individual basis and can vary greatly depending upon size, weight, and destination. Any duty or customs fees imposed on international shipments are the sole responsibility of the recipient.

Are all of your pieces vintage or do you also have new pieces?

We have a mix of both! However, since we opened our new art gallery, we have been focusing more on fine art pieces by international and local Houston artists. While we occasionally take in some quality designer pieces, we also do custom modern and contemporary furniture pieces.

We do our best to accurately research and describe each piece, but please feel free to ask questions or request more images if you’re unclear about the condition of a particular piece. We’re happy to provide whatever information we can to ensure that you’re satisfied with your purchase.

Is it possible for me to take out items on approval if I’m local?

Yes! We understand that art and furniture can be very difficult to make a decision about without seeing them in your space. We just ask you to fill out a short form whether online or in the gallery before taking the piece/s on approval. Generally, pieces are lent out for a max of three (3) days, but arrangements can be made if more time is needed.

Is it possible for you to place pieces on hold for me?

Yes! We can place pieces on hold for you and set a schedule that works with your. Our hold policy typically is three days. Holds may be placed in the gallery, by telephone, or through email. If we don’t hear from you when the hold is up, we will do our best to contact you, but if we receive no response we will assume you are passing and the piece will be made available again.

We accept all major credit cards, checks, and cash.

What is your layaway policy?

Layaway is available for most items. A down payment of at least 50% is required and the remaining amount must be paid within 30 days.
