The Floyd Newsum Summer Studios Program provides an opportunity for emerging, socially engaged artists to create and exhibit work that respond to and/or is reflective of the community. For the first time in this program’s history, Summer Studios is taking a special turn and highlighting time-based media and digital artists alongside a group of visual artists who will install artwork in the seven row houses located on Holman Street.

This year’s program will include 14 students from various local universities including, HCC, UH, Rice, and Prairie View A&M. This program will take place over six weeks, resulting in a showcase of visual art on Saturday, August 3 from 3-7pm, and two nights of performances at the Eldorado Ballroom from 6-8pm on Monday, August 26 and Tuesday, August 27.
