> 20 Square Feet Exhibit

This is a group exhibit of large artworks; each piece is at least 20 square feet in size. This is the first group exhibit devoted to large works of art in Houston. Additionally, many of the artists are participating in the first-time-in-Houston “Buy The Square Foot” program. These (daring) artists are willing to let collectors select an area of their work, say 1, 2 or 4 square feet and the artist will cut out the selection at the end of the exhibition.

“This is a unique way for art collectors to purchase artwork – and “unique” is a word that doesn’t apply very often in the art world. By giving collectors the opportunity to select whatever area they want, they are provided the opportunity to engage an artist’s work in a new way” says the curator, Matt Adams.

Matt Adams, an independent curator and President of the Visual Arts Alliance, selected 19 Artworks by 19 artists from 60 artists that submitted 171 pieces. Media includes painting and photography and subjects range from abstract to realism.

The artists are Homer Allen, Comusina Celan Bouillet, Adam Brackman*, Terry Crump, Tatiana Escallon*, Sandy Ewen*, Elisa Gomez, C. Ellen Hart, Anne Jensen, Clara K. Johnson*, Geoffrey Koslov, Monica Melgar*, Tracey Meyer*, Eric Ockrassa*, R. Michael Reed*, Gerald online casino Syler, Regina Verani*, Dandee Warhol, Adrienne Wong (*–Participating in the “Buy The Square Foot” program).

All sales are handled directly by the artists who receive 100% of the sales price.
