Art League Houston’s 76th Anniversary Gala, BLOOM

Event Description: Join Art League Houston (ALH) for an unforgettable evening at its 76th Anniversary Gala, BLOOM, on Saturday, October 5th, 2024, at the Thompson Hotel. This year’s event honors three remarkable figures in Texas arts:

Beili Liu, 2024 Texas Artist of the Year
Kathy Vargas, recipient of the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award in Visual Arts
Michelle Swain Barnes, honored with the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award in Arts Leadership

Co-chaired by John Luu, Sophie Asakura & Peter Eccles, and Taylor Amador-Williamson & Jonathan Williamson, the Gala will feature a cocktail reception, seated dinner, open bar, live entertainment, and a prestigious awards ceremony. Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in an exclusive art auction showcasing works by both local and national artists.

Proceeds from the event will directly support Art League Houston’s community engagement, exhibition, and public art programs. Your contribution helps ensure that ALH can continue offering groundbreaking exhibitions, artist talks, studio art classes, and arts education initiatives, many of which are free to the public and provide access to under-resourced communities.
