Happy Thanksgiving! The University Museum will be closed for the holiday. We will reopen under our normal hours on Tuesday, December 2nd.

This Thursday at the MFAH, Texas Southern University graduating senior and MFAH Teaching Artist Makala McKoy will be leading an Art Encounters workshop focusing on exploring individuality through portraiture, color, and collage ! 

Participants will use mirrors, acetate transparencies, acrylic markers, and collage materials to create layered self-portraits in real time. It’s an open, creative space to experiment, reflect, and make something uniquely your own.

Open to all ages, materials provided. 💛🎨

The Biggers’ Picture: 7 Artists, 11 Days, 1 Vision was an opportunity to celebrate the recent work by to paint replicas of two iconic works by Dr. John T. Biggers, “Quilting Party” and “Jubilee,” on the outside of TSU buildings. Artists Mack Bishop, Alex Arzu, Bimbo Adenugba, Linda Hinojos, and Mathieu Jean Baptiste shared what it meant to them to participate in the project. A huge shoutout to Dr. Wardlaw’s Conservation Studies class for putting together the event, and thank you to for recognizing the artists and students!
