ON VIEW THRU OCTOBER 28, 2023: This group show features works in a range of media, including painting, sculpture, and mixed media by Houston-based arts group BIGBOND.

“1YRLTR,” said “One Year Later,” explores themes of time, growth, observation, and reflection. The artists of BIGBOND navigate personal, social, emotional, and environmental challenges they have experienced since they began working together one year ago, in the fall of 2022, meeting through the MFAH Glassell BLOCK program.

BIGBOND artists are Vernon Caldera, Alexandra Constantinou, Marina Fernandez, Robert Fox, Holly Josey, Suzette Schutze, Margaret O’Brien-Nelson, Lia Rodi, Chet Urban, and Michelle Whitney.

This loosely organized but tightly-knit group of Houston-based artists engage each other in critical thought, share ideas from their readings and writings, go see art, support other local artists, and fan each other’s creative flames with the purpose of strengthening their individual artistic output while nurturing bonds within Houston’s art community.
