St. George Place Redevelopment Authority/TIRZ 1 is pleased to present to the entire Houston community a fifth set of three-dimensional public art pieces on Richmond Avenue medians between S. Rice and Hillcroft, preserving the southwest side of town’s significant place among the visual art destinations for which our city is known far and wide. 

 

We hope the 10 pieces on the Richmond Avenue public art trail will amuse, entertain and inspire residents, shoppers, visitors and workers alike in the same way that the city’s art cars, first-class art museums, murals and mini-murals do in other locations. Creating the Galleria area’s outdoor gallery is one of many ways in which we are carrying out our mission as public agencies to use physical projects to improve quality of life in the area and spur private investment.

Curator’s Statement

 

 

Dear Patrons of the Arts:

 

We present for your viewing pleasure the fifth installment of the 2025 Richmond Art Trail Temporary Sculpture exhibit generously sponsored by the St. George Redevelopment District. This exhibition includes sculptures from a group of artists from across our state of Texas. The show features 11 artists with 10 works, both experienced and newcomers. One of the artists is internationally renowned David Adickes who has been practicing his craft for over seventy years. Four of the artists are from outside of the Houston area and this show is their initial foray into public art. Redbud is helping to develop new talent in this field of art.

 

Some participants are from Mexican, Central American, and African locales. Their resumes include shows in international, national, and local venues. The diversity of our practitioners is broad. This year’s list includes: David Adickes, Brendan Flores, Caz Scott, Peter Mangan, Jeff Jennings, Tra’ Slaughter, Jimena Vilchis, Akirash, Jonas Criscoe / Mai Gutierrez, and Kurt Dyrhaug.

 

The staff at Redbud Arts Center welcomes you to view and enjoy the exhibition.

 

Note that most of the pieces are for sale.  Please contact us at 713-854-4246 for any inquiries. Thank you.
