Houston Art Weeks

Thanks to all of our artists, gallerists, and creatives for their support of the inaugural edition of Houston Art Weeks!

Contributions and donations from our Official Partners funded donations of $10,000 and $2,000 to the Montrose Center and Healthcare for the Homeless-Houston, respectively. A spectacular result for our first year effort!

Frequently Asked Questions

1Where can I view the work of artists and galleries during Houston Art Weeks?

The best place to view our Official Partners’ work is in their respective studios or galleries, if they have one. Those locations are noted next to the artists’ names on our Partner page. You may also view their work on their website, online store and/or social media. You’ll find those icons on the Partner page, as well. Finally, you may view the work of those partners who chose to support our Pop-Up Art Gallery Sale on Saturday, October 18th at the Montrose Center.

2What does it cost to attend events on the Houston Art Weeks calendar?

With the exception of the Bayou City Art Festival, all Houston Art Weeks events are open to the public at no charge. Please review the individual links on our Events page for additional information on bringing your pets, suitability for young children, etc.

3How will I know if the artist, studio, or gallery is an Official Partner of Houston Art Weeks?

Check our list of Official Partners. When you visit them, look for the Houston Art Weeks “Official Partner” logo on countertop easels in participating studios or galleries. Those partners whose tenant policies permit additional displays may have Houston Art Weeks-branded door “clings” or floor decals. When in doubt…just ask them!

4Who receives the money when I acquire the work of an Official Partner of Houston Weeks?

Each artist or gallery set the parameters for their support of the StellaNova Foundation, sponsor of Houston Art Weeks. Many of our Partners are contributing a percentage of their sales during Houston Art Weeks, so the artists themselves will benefit from your support in addition to the philanthropy. The percentages selected by the artist, studio, or gallery, will primarily be distributed to the Montrose Center with additional support for Healthcare for the Homeless-Houston.
