In case you missed it, we have a NEW exhibition opportunity! The Pearl Fincher Mini Museum is accepting applications for artists and creators of all ages! 🎨✨

Created by and run in collaboration with artist and educator Brooke Silva, the Mini Museum at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts offers a unique, small-scale exhibition space for Greater Houston area artists, art classes, local groups, and families to showcase original works.
Located in a covered space outside the Pearl’s west-facing entrance, it features rotating mini-exhibitions and is open to the public during and beyond regular museum hours due to the nature of its location.
