Redbud Gallery From the Start:
Redbud Fine Arts opened in May 1999 and is located in the Houston Heights at 303 E 11th Street, at the corner of East 11th and Cortlandt Street, adjacent to Tembo Collaborative Fine Arts Printmaking, PRD Antiques and the Sharon Kopriva Studio. Redbud is one of the smallest galleries in Texas at 400 sq. ft. While the gallery is typically open from noon to 5 PM on Saturdays and Sundays, visitors can view exhibitions at any time through the store front windows without entering the gallery or call 713.862.2532 to arrange an appointment.
The goal of the space is to show fine art, with a secondary emphasis on sales. Gratis Art collection consulting and appraisal is also a service provided by the space, while gallery commissions are kept to a minimum. Artists have ranged from masters to first timers. We show prints, sculpture, ceramics, photos, drawings, paintings, and installations local, national and international. The openings are typically well attended on Saturday nights from 6 to 9 and the artist is often in attendance when possible (and still living.) Most people arrive on opening nights expecting to enjoy the art, meet with friends and to graze on Lisa Kopriva’s homemade cookies, another hallmark of Redbud openings.
The gallery has shown metal folk art by 84 yr. Dallas artist Gladys Gostin, a rare 1876 History Timeline of the world Document, Puff, a show dedicated to smoking paraphernalia, master prints by noted artist Dan Mitchell Allison, ceramics by Sally Saul of New York, paintings by John Berry, an installation by nationally famous and published "The Art Guys," . In 2001, the controversial national show Sextablos caused an uproar from a racial, vice and sacrilegious standpoint. Well known artists such as Lucas Johnson, George Herms & Isaac Smith have also had solo showings.
