Adair Margo Gallery opened its doors to the public on December 5, 1985 in Wakefield Plaza, a turn-of-the-century building north of downtown El Paso. In two spacious galleries, it exhibited over 200 contemporary artists from the United States and a dozen foreign countries. It also exhibited classical and historical artists from the Southwest, including Tom Lea, José Cisneros, Luis Jimenez, and Manuel Acosta.
     The Gallery has placed works of art of regional artists in many public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Dallas Museum of Art, the Oval Office of the White House, and U.S. Embassies worldwide.
     In 2008, Adair Margo Gallery moved to downtown El Paso and became Adair Margo Fine Art. It contributes to the revitalization of downtown through exhibitions and events while also dealing privately in historic art of the El Paso region.
