Redbud Arts Center Presents Emerging Visions 2026

We are proud to present Emerging Visions 2026, a juried exhibition featuring outstanding work by undergraduate and graduate students from colleges and universities throughout the Greater Houston area and within a 100 mile radius.

Juried by Clare Elliott, independent curator, appraiser, and founder of Elliott Art Advice, the exhibition highlights emerging artists working across a variety of media and perspectives. Selected from a competitive pool of submissions, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the future of contemporary art in Houston.

Emerging Visions was established to provide student artists with the opportunity to exhibit in a professional gallery setting and to connect their work with a broader public audience. The exhibition reflects the diversity, creativity, and innovation found within Houston’s collegiate arts community.

“Emerging Visions gives young artists a professional platform at a pivotal moment in their careers,” said Tanja Peterson, Executive Director and Curator of Redbud Arts Center. “We are excited to share their work with the public and celebrate the next generation of creative voices.”

Lotte’s Take 🐾

I met Ellis Barber Ellis Barber a young artist with big ideas and even bigger creatures. I’m not sure if this red guy is a sculpture, a monster, or a very dramatic dog house, but I kept a close eye on it just in case.

Verdict: Ellis gets two paws up. The monster? Still under investigation.

Come see what all the fuss is about.
