We’re putting together a little event with our local artist for the Houston Artcrawl.

If you’ll be out bouncing around the Warehouses on Saturday i’m sure we’ll see you after the event. 

You should make 2020 Commerce your last stop for the day and stay with us until the evening. 

History

Artist’s need large and affordable spaces to rent when creating work. Downtown’s warehouse district provided artists with that sort of community. Unfortunately, most of the cities population had removed itself from the urban lifestyle in exchange for the small city effects that suburbia offered. The artistic community suffered from the lack of activity downtown until a brilliant idea was discovered. The idea was to bring the public back downtown by having an “open” studio celebration of the arts, it would later be called ” ARTCRAWL”.

The benefits of having this celebration seperate itself from all other events in the city. No other event currently offered in Houston, celebrates everyone’s art as “equal”. There is no gallery director/curator’s vision involved with this event. Everyone who is located in the downtown area is invited to open their studio up for all the public to see. This feature alone makes this event the single most important regional collection of artists in the Houston Metroplex. It represents the region as it truly is, a diverse collection of different types of art that should be celebrated as a community of “visions”.
