Exhibitions
The exhibition program helps prepare the emerging artists for their professional career while increasing interest in artistic work and creativity in general.
Mid-career and more experienced local and international artists often participate in the exhibitions to encourage/be accessible to the emerging artists and expand their markets.
Artists are also introduced to other adjunct aspects of the arts universe beyond production of their work, which broaden their understanding of the interdependence of the industry. We also plan exhibitions in collaboration with other entities at other venues.
Exhibitions are instructive to the viewers in that they have the opportunity to glimpse the variety of talent, especially in the local arts community, and appreciate/recognize the many forms in which the talents are manifested. We are open to working with other entities to increase the development of venues to support the public display of work (especially) by African American artists.

DESCRIPTION: 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. An opening reception will be held Saturday, February 1, from 5 to 8 p.m.

The overall goal of the ARTrepreneurship Workshop Series is to provide insight into what it takes to achieve the level of a professional artist and how to prepare for the journey.
