Considered the art equivalent of music raves, “pop-up” art exhibits seek to bring artists and audiences together for fleeting runs, ranging from one night to several weeks. Since originating in London, England, “pop-up” art exhibitions have been popping up in American cities, such as New York, Washington DC and Chicago. 360 Degrees of Art is bringing the concept to Houston and will be hosting its second event in a year-long series of Pop-Up art shows at the Bubbles Car Wash on the trendy Washington Avenue (3522 Washington Avenue) on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010 from 6 to 9 p.m.
In line with our mission of community involvement, 360 Degrees of Art will be hosting its second “Pop-Up” art show with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters in honor of their 60th Anniversary. In addition to the gallery-quality art on display, 360 Degrees of Art has … Read more
Now that the debut of our pop-up art show at Saks Fifth Avenue in Houston is behind us (check out the pics on our events page: http://www.my360art.com/category/events/), we’ve spent the weekend reflecting on the show. Our primary goals were to promote a very talented group of local emerging artists to a diverse group of people, while benefiting the Children’s Assessment Center of Houston.
We also wanted to expose 360 degrees of art to the broader Houston public by introducing people to our pop-up concept and to discuss how pop-up art can ultimately benefit the Houston art scene. The purpose of 360’s pop-up art shows is to provide an opportunity for people to think outside the box, or in this case, outside the traditional four walls of an art gallery.
Since the pop-up concept is new to Houston, this was the perfect opportunity to begin educating artists and art enthusiasts … Read more
Having spent yesterday at the Kimbell Art Museum, I decided to search out some art galleries. After surveying people at the hotel and local coffee shops, my choices came down to the Thomas Kinkade and the Sid Richardson Museum.
I am personally not a fan of Thomas Kinkade because I don’t like the subject matter, but more importantly because most of his paintings are produced in a paint-by-numbers factory in China, rather than by his own brush strokes! This left the Sid Richardson Museum, which I had never heard of before.
The Sid Richardson Museum is a collection of paintings depicting the American West. While I am no fan of this particular genre, I found the museum to be very interesting.
Sid Richardson was born in 1891 in Athens, Texas, and later become know as one of the most famous Texas oil tycoons. Over the course … Read more
