UPCOMING EVENTS

Celebrate Dr. Melva K. Williams

 Join us at Huston Tillotson University for an excellent and vital discussion on Transformative Female Leadership in the Arts.

HT student leader, Khadijah Taylor, will facilitate a conversation about women as leaders in the arts featuring Dr. Rosalee Martin, Professor Jennine Krueger, muralist Candy Kuo, and Raasin in the Sun founder Raasin Macintosh.

Blue House Project Artist Residency Presents: "Undisguised, Perfectly Hid"

Join us in celebrating Elizabeth Lopez as we gather for the closing of her Blue House Project Residency.
“Undisguised, Perfectly Hid” is a closing event tied to Lopez’s thoughts she’s been exploring at the Blue House Residency such as nature being a beautifully charted system, recreating indelible memories from past experiences through photographic film / distillation processes and exploring inauspicious, personal themes to the artist such as ritualistic grief, apathetic desire and elected seclusion.
