Community Programs

At any given moment you can find School of Art students in residencies at Project Row Houses, in internships at the CAM, MFAH, HCP or DiverseWorks, volunteering throughout Houston, or developing meaningful community partnerships through classroom projects. Recent examples include:

• raising awareness of historic areas of Houston
• the design, fabrication and installation of zero-impact environmental amenities in a local park
• the design of Metro bus shelters
• working with the City of Houston to brand and promote localized recycling initiatives.

In addition to the many programs that the School of Art offers, Blaffer Art Museum’s free educational programs include public lectures, artist’s talks, docent tours, audio guides, and youth programs such as Studio Saturday, Summer Arts, and our award-winning Young Artist Apprenticeship Program.

About

Houston is internationally known for its visual arts scene. The city is filled with outstanding museums, including UH’s own Blaffer Art Museum, and cutting edge galleries abound. At the heart of this scene are Houston’s artists who live and work throughout the city and continue to keep things fresh and exciting. Many of these artists were educated at the UH School of Art.
