Enjoy this week's curated selection of Houston art events. With FotoFest Biennial 2024 kicking off this Saturday, now more than ever, I urge you to bookmark my website and visit it often for updates and to discover other great Houston art events that I just couldn't include in my weekly emails due to space, timing of submissions, and bandwidth! Check out what's happening at more than 70 Participating Spaces that will host photography exhibitions now through April 21.


ART ALERT! Bid on artworks in the Rothko Chapel's INSPIRIT: Benefit Art Auction before it closes this Thursday, March 7 at 12 noon!
