Archway artists Harold Joiner and Becky Soria both have works being shown in the exhibition "Age in Our Times" at the Health Museum here in Houston. From the museum's website: "This year’s Healing Arts exhibition reframes what it means to grow older through the perspectives of 38 local artists and writers. Juried by dedicated leaders in caregiving, consciousness, and the arts, this curated selection acknowledges both the joys and difficulties of aging, from resilience and renewal to the realities of decline. " The exhibition is open for viewing through March 23, 2026. Read more here.

 Many thanks to Shafaq Patel for writing about Archway Gallery in Axios Houston. The article captured the essence of the gallery:
"Why it matters: Archway is built for collaboration, sustained by structure and kept alive by a steady flow of new and longtime members." "What they're saying: "For many artists, art can be a solitary and sort of lonely thing. Here, we've got this community." "State of play: Archway has 34 artists, ranging in age from their 30s to 80s, with members who've been there for months and others for decades. Their art mediums span painting, ceramics, photography and more. "The big picture: Central to Archway's mission is promoting art with the community — from its annual juried art show to hosting musical and dance performances, writers groups and regular figure drawing events."

Artifacts from Harold Joiner's college days will be on display at Archway in August. Harold Joiner says he's so old that when he was in architecture school, students actually had to learn to draw. "We had to take a full semester of pencil and pen & ink drawing," he says. Next month, when Archway presents a group figure drawing exhibition in the front space, Joiner will display two drawings from his past on his art wall at Archway Gallery.

By Rhonda Radford Adams | Healing Artist & Smile Coach We often think of meditation as something done in solitude — quiet, still, and eyes closed. But what if meditation could look a little different? What if it could be experienced surrounded by art… wrapped in sound… and guided by color? That’s the intention behind Meditative Mondays at Archway Gallery. Each month, I invite guests to step into a calm, creative space — not just to observe art, but to experience it as a tool for meditation and self-reflection. A New Way to Reset These sessions aren’t about “getting it right” — they’re about showing up. Each one begins with a crystal sound bath, allowing the vibrations to soften the body and quiet the mind. From there, we gently transition into visual meditation, where guests are invited to engage with the art on the gallery walls, observing how color, movement, and shape speak to the soul. It’s not about interpreting the art. It’s about letting it reflect something in you. You’ll receive a prompt card for journaling or intuitive drawing — a take-home “recipe for the soul” that you can return to anytime you need a pause. These kits are part of a growing series designed to nourish creativity, calm, and clarity over time. Why It Works As a healing artist and registered dental hygienist, my mission is simple: to nurture the smile from the inside out. I believe wellness is holistic. It’s how we breathe, how we express, how we show up — for ourselves and each other. And through the power of sound, creativity, and color, we can access parts of ourselves that may be overlooked in daily life. Meditative Mondays is a space to explore that — with ease, gentleness, and intention. Come As You Are No experience is needed. Just bring a yoga mat or pillow if you’d like to get cozy, and arrive a few minutes early to explore the gallery and settle in. You’ll be surrounded by the work of 34 local artists, each piece adding its own unique energy and inspiration to your evening. Whether you draw, write, listen, or simply sit in stillness, you’re welcome here. Come begin The month — with breath, color, and calm. Join us for Meditative Mondays at Archway Gallery.

This year marked a record-setting number of submissions for the gallery’s most anticipated annual exhibition. 226 artists submitted 387 pieces. Liz Conces Spencer, Co-Chair for the exhibition remarked, “We were overwhelmed—in the best way—by the number of submissions this year. The record response is a testament to how deeply connected and vibrant our local arts community is. Each work submitted reflects the vision, depth, and creativity of Houston artists, and we are honored to showcase this talent.”
“Because the work is a representation of the community, I wanted the exhibition to be that as well. How can I find work at the highest level but in different mediums and different processes? It really is an astounding variety in the exhibition. The formal elements of work that people are producing is really incredible. There’s work that is political, there’s serious work, work that makes you laugh. All the work in this show is worthy of being recognized. I think the works make a great exhibition and I’m happy to have played a role in getting it together,” remarked Juror Rick Lowe.
Co-Chair Becky Soria added, “Congratulations to all the artists who participated in our annual exhibition, and a heartfelt thanks to our esteemed juror, Rick Lowe, for sharing his vision, time, and expertise.”
All the artworks are available to view and purchase in Archway's Online Store as well as in the gallery through August 1.
