Archway Gallery is honored to present its Thirteenth Annual Juried Competition, an opportunity for area artists and non-members of the gallery to participate in an exhibition of works in the beautiful Front Gallery.
Wayne Gilbert is a self-described “ordinary artist in an extraordinary city full of great artists and art.” His undergraduate degree in Painting from the University of Houston is paired with a minor in Art History (1984). He has an MA from Rice University in Liberal Studies (2012). With other founding members of the Rubber Group (Bill Hailey and Ramzy Telley), he fashioned multi-disciplinary extravaganzas that were bohemian, rough and well out of the mainstream.
Using the cremated remains of Americans uncollected for infinite reasons at funeral establishments to create works of art, his intent is to question the phenomenon of art as it relates to humanity and vice versa. He investigates and questions the academic substance of art as it integrates into theory and critical analysis: What is art? Why does it matter? Who defines a work of art? What is it about this peculiar and mystifying human undertaking that can result in such a huge world-wide industry, sometimes relegated to the lofty world of “Priceless”? The range of imagery is wide, entertaining the momentary flicker of a thought as it might relate to our philosophical, theological, physical, or mental journeys through life.
Wayne has been a guest speaker at Bard College, Annandale on the Hudson, Rutgers University, and Texas Tech. He has curated exhibitions in Trujillo, Peru, Santiago, Cuba, Salwedel, Germany, Seattle, Washington, Marfa, Texas, and Arlington, Texas, to name a few. With his wife Beverley, he owns G Gallery and shows the works of selected artists
Due to the unprecedented upheaval of life in 2020 and the phenomenal job he did selecting our Twelfth Annual Exhibition, Archway Gallery is pleased to re-invite Wayne Gilbert as our 2021 juror.

50% of the sales from this exhibition go to our charity partner, the remaining 50% to the artist.
Returning as Archway Gallery’s 2021 charity partner is The Houston Junior Forum (HJF), which provides charitable services for children, youth, women, and seniors in the greater Houston area.
Established in 1946, HJF is open to women age 21+ who wish to “make a difference” through community service. Today’s 400 members provide services for 15 non-profit organizations. HJF owns and operates the HJF Resale Shop located at 1815 Rutland St. in The Heights. Members volunteer at additional sites preparing and delivering meals, teaching children to read, hosting events for seniors, helping women secure gainful employment, and distributing school supplies for underprivileged families.
HJF has given over 1 million hours of community service during its 73-year history to organizations such as Amazing Place, Christian Community Service Center (CCSC), Dress for Success, Gracewood, Harrison’s Heroes, HJF Resale Shop, Holly Hall Retirement Center, Houston Food Bank, Interfaith Ministries, Meals on Wheels, Kids’ Meals, Making It Better, The Nehemiah Center, See to Succeed, Third Age Learning Center (TALC) and Undies for Everyone. The HJF College Scholarship Program was formed in 1976 to support graduates of the HJF Community House Preschool. To date, HJF has funded 249 multi-year scholarships valued at $1,100,000+ to these students. The Preschool served the Hispanic community for almost 60 years, from 1947 to 2009. Established in 2010, HJF’s Community Grants Program has provided grant funding in excess of $500,000 to organizations in our immediate area.
It is a privilege to work again with this dedicated and impactful organization.
