Exhibitions

Public Art UHS organizes temporary and long-term exhibitions across the UH System and partner venues, helping to make art accessible to the widest possible publics in and around Houston. From significant outdoor sculpture exhibitions to gallery-based shows, our exhibition projects enable us to circulate art, people, and ideas throughout the UH System and beyond.

Exclusively for Everyone. Always Open to the Public.
