THIS WEEK IN HOUSTON
March 18–22, 2026
Mid-March brings a busy stretch for Houston’s arts scene, with film, gallery openings, photography exhibitions, performances, and concerts happening across the city. The Houston Latino Film Festival launches midweek at MATCH with the opening night screening of American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez, followed by a conversation with Cheech Marin and Daniel Valdez.
Around town, galleries are rolling out new exhibitions—from contemporary painting and photography to installations exploring landscape, history, and memory—while artist talks, film screenings, and live performances carry the momentum through the weekend. A major choral concert and outdoor music round out the lineup.
If you’ve been waiting for a good week to get out and see what’s happening around the city, this is a great one. Here are a few highlights.
