VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

First Saturday Arts Market Saturday May 7, and another daytime show of the fall/winter season, 11am-6pm, on the parking lot of Wind Water Gallery at 548 W. 19th St. at Lawrence St. Several dozen artists showcase their paintings, sculpture, photography, jewelry and handmade wares in as many white canopied tents.

It's the last daytime show until Fall!

Houston’s only monthly outdoor art and fine craft show is a staple of the Heights art scene: Nearly every art medium is represented, including artist-designed clothing; cards and stationary; oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings; international photography; and jewelry of unparalleled quality. Artists working in glass, ceramic, paper, metal and wood can be found at the market this summer, offering work in a variety of styles -- even the latest fad, steampunk.

Located on the Wind Water Gallery parking lot at 548 West 19th Street at Lawrence Street, the market is open year 'round on the first Saturday of each month, 6 to 10 p.m. from June through September, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. October through May. Admission and nearby parking are free.

Music in May will be from Featured Performer Kenneth Scott at 3pm.

Houston's soul-rocker, Kenneth Scott, considers himself as much of a spiritual activist as a songwriter & performer. His songs are full of themes that are common to us all and link the human condition to a higher purpose. He performs with the punch of a modern day prophet, displaying a fury in his live shows that will make even the cynical believe.
