This week, Houston’s art scene offers a mix of thought-provoking exhibitions, cultural celebrations, and creative collaborations—just in time for Valentine’s Day and Lunar New Year!


Whether you’re drawn to the poetic portraits of Laura Wilson, immersive conversations on art and wellness, or the vibrant energy of “Mashup 8,” there’s something for everyone.


From an intimate Bach cello concert in an art gallery to pop-up Valentine art shows, this week’s events prove that love and creativity go hand in hand. Check out the lineup and plan your week of artful adventures!
