This unique venue host a variety of art events. Free parking many shows are pay as you wish. The art is world class and as with most art event dress varies from evening wear to cut-offs . Unlike most art or concerts they start on time. There is plentiful parking easy to find on Main. The ambience is brilliant interesting people friendly staff a court yard to have a beverage after all this with great art and music

Small museum, it feels like you get to know the artists, a nice space and good displays of artwork. Free to go and you can read or relax on seats. Nobody else was there on the Friday I went.

Lawndale is a cultural and community mecca in Houston. Attending the Nameless Sound They, Who Sound, events on Monday nights has been the highlight of my recent return to my hometown. We must do what we can to support and promote these Houston institutions.

This place definitely was worth going to for my daughter and I. She loves art and is actually very good herself. So as a mom Im supporting her in her journey until she really take her skills to new heights. We were able to bond and share our artistic ideas and we had great conversation when discussing each piece. It was free to visit making it a very good idea to take your family. I do recommend this place very much if youre into art.

Lawndale is similar in content to the CAM (Contemporary Art Museum), near MFAH. Jung Center gallery is no longer open to public, can call Jung bookstore. CAM closed till January. Lawndale open on a specific schedule. Reservations sometimes required, best to call ahead. CHECK WEBSITES.

Great organization with talented selections of sponsored shows. Spacious main room which makes it excellent for events. Variety of interesting exhibitions. Disappointed that they delegated Los Dios de los Muerte to another group. The elevator is small and runs slow but few need to use it because the main activity and restrooms are on the first floor.

Left to wander on my own, I found my time was best spent reading the informative bulletin for the second floor exhibition. Information about artists were harder to find downstairs. Quiet, easy and free parking, elevator and stairs available.

Small gallery but they do really cool work. Recently they held a display on comic artists from the 1970s after the exhibit travelled to Germany. During my last visit only one floor had works on display as the second floor was under construction. Regardless, cool center presenting unique collections.
