They say everything in Texas is bigger, and the art at The Barfield, an Autograph Collection hotel, is no exception. With a downstairs speakeasy dating back to the Prohibition era and a rich history as an office building along Route 66, the hotel’s character shines through its art. Designers at Flick Mars desired a blend of iconic Texas Americana with a moody, modern vibe to bring new life to this space.

Our talented studio artists created bespoke pieces for The Barfield, combining original works with customized vintage art to fit the building’s unique charm. The Kalisher curation team collaborated with local artists to craft pieces that tell The Barfield’s story, including a hand-painted landscape behind the front desk and dramatic, layered aluminum discs in the grand stairwell.
