Archway Gallery's 2nd Annual Juried Exhibit
Second Chances - 2010
Second Chances had 50 works from 35 artists, culled from 100 entries. This successful show had over $5600 in sales and raised over $2600 for the Houston Humane Society!
Archway Gallery presents its annual juried exhibition in July, Second Chances, which will benefit the Houston Humane Society (HHS). The exhibition will be on display July 3 – August 5, 2010. The opening reception, which is open to the public, is scheduled for July 10 from 5–8 pm.
Jeff Law, the director and owner of the influential Houston Heights art space October Gallery, is the exhibition juror. For more than 20 years, Law presented the work of fine and folks artists with a global perspective at his gallery and was instrumental in the development of the 19th Street Business District in the Heights. After closing October Gallery several years ago, Law expanded his artistic reach to create a living work of art, the Indian Summer Lodge . Home to his thriving landscaping business Kabloom, this vibrant Heights environment captures Law’s passion for “beauty in all its forms.”
Approximately 30 artists will be notified of their selection for Second Chances in mid-June. At the opening reception on July 10, one artist will be awarded a $500 prize for the “Best of Show” of the exhibit and will receive a one-month exhibit at Archway Gallery during the 2011 season. Second Chances will be on view at the gallery through August 5, 2010.
Forty per cent of the sale of each artwork will be donated directly to the Houston Humane Society (HSS). This non-profit organization is dedicated to eliminating cruelty, abuse and the overpopulation of animals. It receives no federal, state or local funding and relies entirely on donations and special events to fund its efforts. HHS is committed to creating the awareness of animal rights throughout the community by providing numerous animal welfare programs to Houston area residents and their pets.
