| Hello, fellow art-loving friends! We hope you enjoyed a lovely Memorial Day holiday and long weekend with friends and/or family. We can hardly believe it's already June! School's out and summer is officially in! Lucky for us, Houston's art scene doesn't slow down much in the summer months...it just gets a little (ahem..A LOT) hotter. But don't let the heat slow you down. Check out our recommended events below and join the rest of Houston for some #houarts fun! |

This workshop is geared toward individual artists of all disciplines. REGISTER HERE
