Hope Stone Inc

We are thrilled to be partnering with Houston Center for Photography this year at Clemente Martinez with a fifth grade girls photography class. Thank you Laura Corley Burlton for your beautiful and gentle guidance of these girls. Watching them fall in love with photography and themselves is magic.

Working with the Marshall Middle Academy of Fine Arts- HISD students is such a wonderful part of our programming. Kajal Desai will work with the 8th grade dance class all year teaching Indian Dance & Bollywood. It is such a wonderful collaboration with these students and the light and joy they present in their dances is beautiful.

New school year. New school! We’re excited to bring our arts education program to Looscan_ESHISD this year, adding a second elementary to our community partner roster and our third school in the Near Northside feeder pattern.

Thursdays classes at Clemente Martinez were exceptional. Making great art.

An amazing first day of art classes at Clemente Martinez Elementary School. So much big, beautiful, bold art — drumming, choosing props for films, creating theater and dance, and the first year of a singing club in collaboration with Houston Boychoir. A happy day 1!

We are so proud of former Hope Stone Music teacher David Sharma. He was one of 12 educators who won the prestigious Kinder Foundation Excellence in Teaching Award for 2024. Way to go Dave!!

Reflecting on the creative days of Hope Stone Dance and this gem that was created with the fierceness and raw beauty and talent of of Rachael Hutto, Lindsey McGill, Brit Wallis-McGrath, Kay Collymore and Jacquelyne Boe in the hot middle of the Pandemic. Thank you Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and Felice Cleveland for the space and the trust during that intensely scary and wild time.

Rule #4: Don't Walk on the Sidewalk (work in progress) A week long residency in the refreshed, spacious, pristine Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is the catalyst for early sketches for Jane Weiner's newest work-...

After a year of mindfulness classes it was rewarding to see the Clemente Martinez students be able to apply so much of their knowledge and resources from their year of mindfulness lessons as they prep for tomorrow’s first day of STAAR testing. The students created plans involving breathing to wake up the brain, brain dance warm-ups, eye tracking and corpus callous exercises. They devised their own personal plan and then we created miniature calming bottles or empowerment water bottles. So proud of these mindful kids. you Mann Design for this AMAZING room to work in today💚💚💚💚🤓

Excited to present work taught by Hope Stone's incredible teacher artist Kajal Desai tonight at Northside High School (Houston) What a joyful Spring semester working with these students💕

Our Marshall Middle Academy of Fine Arts- HISD photography class under the direction of Tati Vicedomine gets ready for their final open house. These talented Middle Schoolers will showcase their work on April 19th. So excited to see their work.
