Insomnia Gallery

Review №1

Rating: 5

I recently had the chance to attend the neon art opening at Insomnia Gallery, and it was an absolute delight for the senses. Located in the bustling Hardy Nance building, the gallery is home to a variety of art studios, making it the perfect setting for this exciting showcase of luminous works. As soon as I stepped through the doors, I was struck by the electric atmosphere. The air-conditioned space was buzzing with the creative energy of the artsy attendees, each seemingly bursting with enthusiasm for the dazzling display before them. The walls came alive with neon sculptures, installations, and paintings that radiated a captivating glow, casting an otherworldly ambiance throughout the venue. What impressed me most was the sheer diversity of the artwork on exhibit. From abstract geometric compositions to figurative pieces, the artists had pushed the boundaries of neon art, showcasing its versatility as a medium. I found myself drawn to the bold, immersive installations that enveloped the viewer, creating an almost hypnotic experience. Navigating through the different studios, I was delighted to see the passion and dedication of the artists. Each space had its own distinct personality, reflecting the unique styles and visions of the creators. It was a true treat to witness the art-making process firsthand and gain a deeper appreciation for the skill and craftsmanship involved. Overall, the Insomnia Gallerys neon art opening was a memorable and visually captivating event. The combination of the vibrant artwork, the energetic atmosphere, and the diverse artistic community made for a truly unforgettable experience. If youre a lover of contemporary art or simply seeking a unique and mesmerizing adventure, I highly recommend checking out this must-see exhibition.

Love it when they had events. Always a good time. Lots of different themes for such a small area in the parking lot or just in the gallery. If youre a collector of albums, trinkets, art or, just old school in general it would be a good idea to find out when there next market party is.

This awesome art gallery is located in an awesome shopping center filled with quite a few unique local shops. Before COVID they had regular art shows that showcased all kinds of different local talent. Very affordable art and an awesome collection of very talented artists pieces in one place. They have even been having virtual art shows online to continue supporting artists in the area. Definitely look them up and try to catch a show when you can, you won t regret it!

I love this place! If you need a 1st print copy of the B52s Planet Claire, or something else more obscure and dont want to drive to Montrose, this is your place. They hold various events and support many local artists by having themed gallery openings. The staff is great, the restrooms are always clean, and there is plenty of parking. Located in the Tlaquepaque Plaza, this shopping center has much to offer, from coffee to Thai food, Tlaquepaque has it all, including Insomnia!

Attended an Art Exhibition recently. The area is small for a large group of people and gets congested. However, the artists and artwork are definitely something to look forward to. Usually they have food trucks outside the venues too, so definitely a good place to spend time with friends. Must visit for Art Lovers! Don t miss the brilliant wall art/wall murals in the same neighborhood!

This place is a sweet little gem of a gallery in Houston. Very supportive of new artists, although maybe not too discerning, as not all of the things that they have in their shows are of the highest caliber, but, props to them for supporting beginners and becoming a major player in the underground Houston arts scene. This place is wonderful!

Ok, 1st off this place has several different Art shows through out the year & they also have a store attached to it for misc. Pieces. The Art shows are a little small, or at least the horror show I went to but there was a lot of great work from a lot of different artist. These picss are just some of the artists work that was at this show. Oh yeah, I know that 1 of the things that they promote is bringing kids, dogs, etc. But I dont suggest either 1 for show nights just because it is small & some shows are more busy than others but to each there own I guess. Great local artist work, I highly suggest you really taking a look at the detail on some of these designs cause my pics. Might not have done justice to them, but take a good look at the (Trick or Treat / Sam) it is stitched & the playing card drawings are also from the same artist.

I love coming here every time they have an event! I love the different themes and how they support local artists and women. Mixed crowd, always good food trucks or pop ups. They usually have free beer or mixed drinks. (With a suggested donation.) The bathrooms are always clean. I just wish the entrance was more spacious. When its busy you have to push through like at a club. I love that its pet friendly because I get to see cute dogs when I go. Some events are family friendly also. Parking can be difficult. Its better to arrive early especially so you can be able to buy the art and prints before they sell out.

The place isnt too small or too big for a gallery. In the front is vinyls, art work, collectables, cassette tapes all for sale and past that is the gallery that could probably hold any type of event. Since its in a shopping center they can expand into the street for bigger events.

The best gallery in town supporting cool local and up-and-coming artists. They change installations frequently (sometimes weekly). Art themes are creative sometimes taboo, fun, and free or low cost. I ve seen some great local bands here too. They sell quality artist toys, prints, shirts, pins, and records. Set in a cool old shopping area with ample parking and cool surrounding shops including Bohemeo s coffee & beer next door.
