On December 7 at 6 p.m., Visual Arts Alliance is offering a guided tour at Lawndale Art Center, 4912 Main Street, Houston.

Each year, through a competitive application process, Lawndale Art Center awards three artists with a studio and support for nine months, including a monthly stipend, studio visits and an exhibition at the end of their residency.

The tour will include Double Digits: Lawndale’s Artist Studio Program, 10 Years and Counting. This exhibition celebrates not only the thirty artists who have participated in the Artist Studio Program since 2006 but also the vital contribution that the Artist Studio Program has made to the Houston art community. Also included will be the Lawndale Archives, Gulf Coast Collaboration and Project Space with Lawndale Live by Maurice Duhon, Jr., Phillip Pyle II, Jawwaad Taylor and Stephen Wilson.

Space is limited to 30 people. Email [email protected] to reserve space.

As part of its educational outreach, VAA presents monthly programs that are open to the public. There is no charge to attend any of the presentations and registration is not necessary. For more information, visit www.VisualArtsAlliance.org.
