SPECIAL EVENTS

Calling all art enthusiasts to take part in the 30th Annual ArtHouston opening Saturday, July 11th. The main purpose behind ArtHouston is to exhibit emerging, mid-career and well-known artists in order to display diverse talent. 37 participating galleries will be open to showcase these local, national and International artists.

Founded in 1979 as Introductions, ArtHouston has grown from a twelve gallery art-walk to an almost city-wide exhibition of talent. Introductions was established by Houston Art Dealers Association as a way to further art awareness during the summer months, traditionally a less active time of the year for galleries. Over the past 30 years, many artists exhibiting in Introductions and ArtHouston have become well-known locally and internationally.

This year, ArtHouston is proud to announce it will be supporting the Galveston Arts Center  in order to aid in the reconstruction following Hurricane Ike. All participating galleries will be donating funds and will encourage their patrons to do the same, in order to give the GAC a significant contribution.

This year there will be an interesting variety of work on view, from realist to abstract painting, sculpture to mixed-media constructions, drawings and works on paper, collage, photography and clay. Most shows opening for ArtHouston will be open through July 2009. All events will be free and open to the public. Please see the ArtHouston brochure or visit the website at www.arthouston.com  for specific reception details.
