Showcasing our soul through arts and culture ✨ As part of our commitment to expanding access and creating spaces where visual art, performance, and community converge, we embarked on an inspiring 12-hour Studio Visit journey across Houston. By grounding our work in Community as a Source and Curiosity as a Method, we stepped inside the creative sanctuaries of four extraordinary artists shaping the U.S. Latino art landscape: 📍 Violette Bule @violettebule — Examining how power dynamics and architecture regulate everyday life, using water as a conceptual framework for memory, displacement, and transformation. 📍 Venessa Monokian @vmonokian — Investigating ideas about her environment that extend beyond the tangible to explore the psychological elements of space, where the viewer's physical interaction becomes integral to the art. 📍 Julia Barbosa Landois @jblandois — Uncovering profundity and absurdity in the everyday through upcycled materials, performance, and dialogues on bodily autonomy. 📍 Nela Garzón @minkstereo — Honoring ancestral legacies through slow, meditative fiber art and traditional crafts as living acts of cultural resistance. An institution already at work bringing Latino arts and culture to the forefront. ➡️ Swipe through the carousel to step inside the studios! Which artist's vision resonates most with you? Tell us in the comments! 👇 #ALMAAHH #StudioVisit #HoustonArt #AmericanLatinoArt #VioletteBule #VenessaMonokian #JuliaBarbosaLandois #NelaGarzon #ArtAndCommunity by @curatorlove

We had a packed house last week for Antonio Perez’s artist talk! Thank you to all who attended and a huge thanks to Perez for making the long drive out from LA to share his stories, processes, and nearly a 100 out-of-this-world churros. They went too quick, folks; I didn’t even get a picture.⁣ ⁣ But you can still see the incredible artwork on view in 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘰 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘻: 𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 through September 25. Take it from me, move fast or the opportunity will be gone. Gallery hours for the week posted in our bio.⁣ ⁣ 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘰 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘻: 𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 is presented at the MVC Art Gallery in conjunction with FotoSoCal, by CuratorLove, a constellation of exhibitions that feature the work of Brown, Mexican-American, Nepantlera, Mestiza, Indigenous, Chicanx, Mexican-Irish, Afro-Mexicana, Chicano, Latine, Undocumented, Oaxaqueñe, Yaqui, migrant, Guatemalan-Mexican, Salvadoran, Mexican-Filipino (Mexipino), Chapin, immigrant, undoc+, and Japanese-Mexican (Jaxican) photographers and lens-based artists. @cadillactony @curatorlove @foto_socal by @curatorlove

In physics, quantum entanglement refers to a permanent connection between bonded particles; whatever happens to one particle immediately affects the other, no matter how far they drift apart. For artist Antionio Perez, it’s a compelling framework through which to reflect on the ties that bind family members across generations, which continue to reverberate across time and space.⁣ ⁣ Join us Thursday, September 17, at 3:30pm in the MVC Art Gallery for an artist talk with Antonio Perez. ⁣ A reception for the exhibition 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘰 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘻: 𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 will follow. Churros from Perez’s neighborhood panaderia, Lucero Bakery in Bell Gardens, will be served and coffee will be provided by the Lion’s Den.⁣ ⁣ The MVC Art Gallery is in the Student Services Bldg, Room 217.

Don't miss the last few days to see Blessings From The Three and FuturoGenerational. Blessings from the Three, by artist @aminacruz.studio, transforms the redlined landscapes of Los Angeles into living sites where histories and hauntings of dispossession, queer memory, and communal feeling persist in the present through enduring relationships. Presented alongside it, FuturoGenerational brings together lens-based student work from colleges and universities across the FotoSoCal constellation, curated through an open call as a companion to Cruz's exhibition. Together, the two shows form a single, resonant experience — one rooted in inherited histories, the other reaching toward unwritten futures — meeting in the same gallery space. - On view through Saturday, September 12, 2026 taken in Luckman Gallery by @curatorlove
