BOX 13 ArtSpace is pleased to present four new exhibitions opening Friday September 5, 2025 6pm to 10pm.
BOX 13 ArtSpace is pleased to present in our Front BOX gallery the work of photographer Brittainy Lauback. “Golden Somewhere” is about the long summer days where the days are long and the nights are restless, a season that still feels like freedom but carries a quiet weight. It’s about heat, stillness, memory, and the strange sadness that lingers in all that golden light. In our Back BOX gallery we are excited to show work by Giovanni Valderas. “Return Architect” investigates the realities faced by marginalized communities of color, often perceived as “nuisances” within neighborhoods undergoing economic and social pressures. The work explores the systemic erosion of agency, highlighting how working-class individuals are affected by everything from microaggressions to exclusionary city ordinances in the face of aggressive gentrification. The Window BOX gallery featured artist Demi Kahn. “Moments from Dawn to Dusk” is a vibrant installation exploring how we collect and carry moments through time and how they shape our understanding of the past, the unfolding of the present, and the possibilities of the future. With a central tree-like form and many suspended fiber sculptures, artist Demi Kahn invites viewers into a space of reflection, where presence feels fluid and healing has no fixed path. On view in the Upstairs Box gallery, Jean Sandova’s show “Psychic Self-Defense” uses sculpture and painting to capture the surreal, intrusive visions sparked by burnout and digital overload. Through biting humor and visceral imagery, the work explores the absurdities of modern life as both a mirror and an escape hatch for the overwhelmed psyche.
The exhibitions continue through October 4, 2025. An Opening Reception will be held on Friday September 5, 2025 6pm to 10pm at BOX 13 ArtSpace, 6700 Harrisburg, Houston, TX 77011.

27th Annual Eastwood Home Tour presented by East End District
This year’s tour celebrates The Power of the Porch — honoring Houston’s largest intact collection of Arts & Crafts, Prairie, and American Foursquare homes. Since 1913, Eastwood has been a model of community design, with oak-lined sidewalks and welcoming porches built to bring neighbors together.
For over a century, Eastwood’s porches have been a place to gather, connect, and collaborate — a tradition that continues today as residents face modern challenges while preserving the neighborhood’s safe, walkable, and friendly character.
The Home Tour showcases Eastwood’s architectural gems and raises funds for the Eastwood Civic Association, supporting efforts to keep the community strong and connected. Come see why Eastwood’s vision of neighborhood life is as powerful today as it was over 100 years ago.

A decade of color, creativity, and collaboration comes to life this fall as Big Walls Big Dreams marks its 10th anniversary in Houston. From October 24 through November 2, 2025, the citywide mural festival returns with a bold, focused format – 10 murals by 10 artists in 10 days – celebrating ten years of artistic evolution.
Launched during Art Basel Miami in 2015, Big Walls Big Dreams has grown from a small creative experiment into one of America’s longest-running mural festivals. Produced by UP Art Studio, the festival has transformed blank walls into cultural landmarks — expanding from its Miami origins to its second home in Houston and preparing to launch its next chapter in Hawaii in 2026.
This milestone year also debuts a refreshed Big Walls Big Dreams visual identity, developed with Houston designer Mario Jaramillo of Robot Agency, signaling a new decade of creativity, connection, and evolution.
The 2025 edition features ten mostly local artists, each bringing a distinct voice and vision to walls across the city. Their works span realism, abstraction, graffiti, and design — together reflecting the creative energy that defines Houston’s art scene.

Next we have “Map of the World (Blinds)” fills BOX13’s window gallery with small paper pulp shapes and standing wood sculptures that feature repeated motifs like spirals, crescent moons, and stars. Through representing images related to the cosmos, these multimedia works explore an entity that is unable to be touched or held. The objects are small and textural in nature, creating tender and tactile representations of a grandiose concept. Moving upstairs “IT’S B*LLSHIT!!” is a critique of our inadequate system that aims to keep our diverse communities silenced and indifferent towards adversity. Sirena Nieves’s collection of curious sculptures can be located in the upper box, at Box13.
The exhibitions continue through November 22, 2025. An Opening Reception will be held on Friday Friday October 23, 2025 6pm to 9pm at BOX 13 ArtSpace, 6700 Harrisburg, Houston, TX 77011.
