East End Houston

March 6 – April 11, 2026 Exhibitions
2026-03-06 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | Box 13 ArtSpace, 6700 Harrisburg Blvd, Houston, TX, United States
BOX 13 ArtSpace is pleased to present four new exhibitions opening Friday, March 6, 2026 6–9 PM.
BOX 13 ArtSpace is pleased to present in the front gallery: “The Classroom” by Darla Barolini is a series of large-scale figurative paintings that depict imagined classroom scenes drawn from the artist’s experiences as an educator, exploring the emotional and psychological dynamics of learning spaces. “De-Documenting” by Beatriz Bellorín at Back Box gallery is a multimedia installation that transforms court documents from the 2025 case National TPS Alliance v. Noem to interrogate the bureaucratic logics of U.S. immigration systems. Through repetition and abstraction, the work reveals how official language can obscure lived experience while exposing the human stakes of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans. Amelia Key’s site-specific installation “Interstice” at BOX 13 Window BOX Gallery suspends PEX pipe and mixed-media elements, creating a weightless pause in the flow of everyday life. “Out of Pocket: Memory” in Reverb is an exhibition by Jonathan Durham at Box 13 Upstairs BOX gallery that explores memory and cognitive decline through sculptural strategies drawn from Alzheimer’s behaviors such as looping and pocketing. Using repetition, mutation, and concealment, the work frames memory as an embodied, unstable process shaped by holes, fragmentation and confabulation rather than any fixed archive.
The exhibitions continue through April 11, 2026. An Opening Reception will be held on Friday March 6, 2026 6–9 PM at BOX 13 ArtSpace, 6700 Harrisburg, Houston, TX 77011.
A special thank you to Houston Arts Alliance, the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, The Brown Foundation, Saint Arnold Brewing, and all who have helped to support our programming.

Do Not Follow My Way is a solo exhibition by artist Aime Rosales that traces her artistic trajectory from graduation to the present. Bringing together three series of paintings and an installation, the exhibition reflects the evolution of her visual language and creative process over time.
By presenting early works alongside more recent pieces, the exhibition highlights growth, transformation, and the non-linear nature of artistic development. Rather than proposing a single path or method, Do Not Follow My Way invites viewers to engage with art as an ongoing process shaped by experimentation, change, and lived experience.

La casa de la abuela
2026-04-19 18:30 - 19:30 | TBH Center (Talento Bilingüe de Houston), 333 S Jensen Dr, Houston, TX, United States
La casa de la abuela is an interdisciplinary performance that reimagines one of the most recognizable cultural spaces in Latino life, the grandmother’s home, as a site of memory, identity, and belonging. The program blends traditional Hispanic folk music reinterpreted by classical singers (Fernando Grimaldo and Luisana Rivas), original scenes inspired by the heightened drama of telenovelas, and an exhibition of paintings by local artists. These elements converge to create an immersive environment that evokes nostalgia while inviting audiences to reflect on the themes of affection, grief, humor, and faith. This trip down memory lane serves as a reminder for the next generation as well as creates a modern cultural experience that honors tradition, community, and connection.

BOX 13 ArtSpace is pleased to present four new exhibitions opening Friday, May 22, 2026 6–9 PM.
BOX 13 ArtSpace is pleased to present in the Front BOX gallery we show “Scaff(Holding)” by Jordan Vinyard transforms Box 13 Artspace into an absurd choreography of labor hierarchies. Vinyard dissects and sutures through works that are as repulsive as they are endearing. The exhibit in the Back gallery at BOX 13 ArtSpace features “Last Night and Tomorrow” is an exhibit of multi-media prints and installation by Gaby Hurtado-Ramos in the Back BOX gallery. Through layered drawings, photographs, and prints, Hurtado-Ramos explores the multiple outcomes possible in both the physical print process and in scenes of hopefulness longing for a future with a dance floor. In our Window BOX gallery Dario Salvatore Bucheli presents a site-specific painting titled “Transformation Cycle”. The work follows the snake’s mythic journey, inviting viewers to consider cycles of change, surrender, and renewal within their own lives. Moving to our Upstairs BOX gallery we are excited to introduce “Do You Have Papers?” laments those loved and overlooked by systems that fail to value them as people with collecting and mixed-media craft. This exhibition uses archiving as an act of resilience and appreciates immigrant clutter by devoting space to the remnants that illustrate their shared experiences.
The exhibitions continue through June 27,, 2026. An Opening Reception will be held on Friday May 22, 2026 6–9 PM at BOX 13 ArtSpace, 6700 Harrisburg, Houston, TX 77011.
This event is funded in part by the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance and Houston MOCA. Additional support is provided by The Brown Foundation, Saint Arnold Brewing Company, Giant Texas Distillers, JP Morgan – Nancy O’Connor Fund, and all who help make our programming possible.
