VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

Houston Arts Alliance, American Association of Museums (AAM), PODS Houston and Discovery Green present the Portable On Demand Art Project (PODA), Maconda's Grove - Discovery Green. Opening: Thursday, May 19, 6-8pm at Maconda’s Grove. On view: May 19 through June 5, then travel to locations throughout Houston.

The Portable On Demand Art (P.O.D.A.) Project is a temporary public art exhibition featuring the work of Aerosol Warfare, BOX 13 ArtSpace, Jillian Conrad, The Joanna, Lynne McCabe, Gabriel Martinez, Metalab, and Anthony Shumate. Each artist or collective of artists has uniquely transformed a PODS® container into a work of art.

Created in conjunction with the 2011 American Association of Museums (AAM) Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo™ and in partnership with PODS Houston, the City of Houston, Discovery Green and the Houston Arts Alliance, the P.O.D.A. project provides a non-traditional platform for artists to explore the cultural, ecological, political, scientific and socio-economic forces shaping Houston’s aspirations for the future, and showcases our city as a vibrant arts and cultural capital and museum mecca for locals and visitors alike.

The P.O.D.A. Project will be on display throughout the greater Houston area for the remainder of 2011. The P.O.D.A. Project is generously funded by PODS Houston and a grant from the City of Houston’s Special Initiative Grant Program through the Houston Arts Alliance and Houston Museum District Association.
