Women of the Earth

The Community Artists’ Collective opens its 2025 exhibition season in its new home at 4111 Fannin, Suite 100A, Saturday, February 1, with “Women of the Earth,” a collaboration between three Houston artists.

The exhibition unites the creative voices of Andrea Venson, Kanika Blair and Audrianna Woods—three artists whose work is deeply entwined with the natural world. Through distinct yet harmoniously aligned practices, they explore the intersection of femininity, nature and spiritual connection.

Andrea navigates a captivating balance between structure and fluidity in her collages; Kanika animates ethereal dreamscapes that transport viewers to otherworldly dimensions; and Audri’s evocative paintings draw on ancestral energy and wisdom.  Together they highlight the power of women working in harmony to create art that is bold, sensual and deeply rooted in the earth.

The exhibition continues through March 22.

Part 3: March 22, 2025 "Bear Witness": (Re)Connecting to Our Ancestors

“Bear Witness” is held each year during the week of Ann Taylor’s birthday.  Ann Taylor was born March 20, 1845.  This year marks the 180th anniversary of her birth.  This participatory public art experience is designed to introduce the public to Ann Taylor’s life and journey.  An artist-led Ancestor Altar will be created by visitors to Ann Taylor’s gravesite.  Visitors will leave messages of love and goodwill in remembrance to their ancestors.  Bird walks and walking meditations will be offered, as visitors explore the forested 26-acre park.  A pop-up floral installation will invite attendees to enjoy the beauty of nature and boost their well-being.  The Houston Public Library’s (HLP) Gregory School will be onsite to collect the oral histories documenting the lives of African American women and their impact on their descendants that will go into the City of Houston’s official archives.

The Houston Audubon will provide binoculars and nature interpretation along the trail if that is an opportunity.

Witness Series: Part 1: "Empowered by Flowers:" Flora, Fauna and Self-Care

  • Pilgrim United Church, Columbia Tap Rail Trail (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Flowers are a natural tool for self-care that have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety.  The giving of flowers elicits joy and gratitude, while at the same time strengthening our bonds with loved ones.  This event will begin with a BIPOC artists panel about the strong positive effects flowers and nature have on our emotional wellbeing.  This engaging dialogue will provide the space to explore the power of communities of color to lean into nature and see themselves reflected in flora and fauna.  Following the panel, attendees will be invited to take part in a hands-on ancestor flower arrangement workshop conducted by artist Britanny Mayfield.  Participants will create eco-friendly remembrance floral arrangements created with waste-reducing practices and upcycled materials made from locally sourced, in-season flowers.  The bouquets will be added to the Kirk Jackson, a Third Ward resident and community advocate, marker on the Columbia Tap Trail.  The Houston Audubon will highlight the birds found along the trail, before attendees take a nature walk along the Columbia Tap Trail and learn its history.

Women of the Earth

The Community Artists’ Collective opens its 2025 exhibition season in its new home at 4111 Fannin, Suite 100A, Saturday, February 1, with “Women of the Earth,” a collaboration between three Houston artists.

The exhibition unites the creative voices of Andrea Venson, Kanika Blair and Audrianna Woods—three artists whose work is deeply entwined with the natural world. Through distinct yet harmoniously aligned practices, they explore the intersection of femininity, nature and spiritual connection.

Andrea navigates a captivating balance between structure and fluidity in her collages; Kanika animates ethereal dreamscapes that transport viewers to otherworldly dimensions; and Audri’s evocative paintings draw on ancestral energy and wisdom.  Together they highlight the power of women working in harmony to create art that is bold, sensual and deeply rooted in the earth.

The exhibition continues through March 22.
