This place is amazing and GABO ARTIST PROJECTS ARE TOTALLY STUNNING ,thanks for the kids experience

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, and I must say, it was an absolute delight.

I was fortunate enough to be referred by an incredible curator from the Asia Society, and I'm so grateful for the recommendation.Despite its relatively small size, this gallery packs a punch with its astonishing collection of contemporary craft art.

One particular highlight for me was the stunning pieces by Chinese artists from New York, crafted out of crates. The sheer creativity and ingenuity behind these works left me in awe.What sets this gallery apart is its commitment to showcasing artwork that pushes boundaries and challenges traditional notions of art.

Houston's contemporary art scene is truly thriving, and the gallery's thought-provoking exhibits left me pondering the meaning behind each piece.I also appreciated the attention to detail, from the futuristic string art to the inviting floor cushions that allowed visitors to immerse themselves fully in the experience.

The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, patiently answering all of my questions and adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere.Every corner of the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft is adorned with little displays that add to its charm and allure. It's a place where you can lose yourself in the beauty of craft and emerge with a newfound appreciation for the art form.

Overall, my visit was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend making the trip to explore the uniqueness of this beautiful museum. Whether you're a seasoned art enthusiast or simply looking for something new and inspiring, you won't be disappointed.

Had a blast at Craft Day, so many hands-on activities. I enjoyed it as much as my daughter did. We also checked out the exhibit, our favorite was the one that turned the Art preparation & installation teams into the Art.

The Center is a quite small, but provides a very important service to the arts and the artists it supports.
There were 2 galleries open when I went. There were 2 artists in residence in their workspaces.
I wish it had not been so hot, I would have spent more time looking through the garden outside that provides materials for some of the artists' works.
