Matthew Napoli:

Napoli is driven by his evolving perspectives on ecology, faith, personal relationships, and mental health. He renders his images with a meticulous hand in order to affirm and poeticize the uncomfortable changes in life.

Disha Khakheria:
Disha Khakheria is an interdisciplinary artist based in Houston, Texas. Her work focuses on the formal design elements of the world around her: color, form, and sensation. These are elements that are both physical and emotional. Her photographs capture moments that represent hidden pieces of her conscious and subconscious being.

Hello World! We’ve been quite for awhile, but we’re not gone! We have some future plans in the works, and are looking forward to getting back to businesses soon! For now, the gallery has been transformed into a classroom with socially distant protocols. This might even become a great setup for a future exhibition! More to come!

In celebration of Juneteenth we wanted to highlight some of the artists included in The Museum of Fine Arts Houston’s forthcoming exhibition, 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳. This exhibition will be on view from June 27–August 30, 2020, so grab your face mask and go check it out!⁣

@ The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

Let’s talk about the demographics of US museum staff and leadership. 📣

In 2018 the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, in collaboration with partnering institutions, released a demographic survey of US museum staff and leadership. Although the numbers showed increased diversity between 2014 and 2018, there is still a long way to go. The positions that showed the most improvement, such as guards, educators, and technicians, were also the first positions to be furloughed or terminated as a result of COVID-19. As we all rebuild, we must understand that without a strong foundation, institutions will not stand.

”A new survey from revealed that people believe that artists are the “most non-essential workers” during the pandemic. And it’s caused a bit of a social media backlash...”
