BLACK HOUSTON AND THE ARTS Opening Reception In-Person
From painting and sculpture to photography and decor, African American fine art covers a wide range of styles and techniques. The creative expression of Black art captures themes of identity, history, lived experiences, the beauty of the African diaspora, and so much more.
This exhibition highlights the artwork of Timekeepers Resource Awardable Coalition (TRAC) members, a Houston area group of senior artists who studied under the guidance of nationally renowned artist and muralist Dr. John Biggers, sculptor Carol Simms or in the Art department at Texas Southern University (TSU). A railroad track, once essential in Houston, became a resource of the Art Center on TSU's campus and is represented today by TRAC. The railroad track defines the fine line between creative arts and cognitive growth. Each artist learned the significance of carefully placed pillars, spikes, and rail which tie together humanities of the past with present day passions.
Please join us as we celebrate these acclaimed artists and their incredible works!
