PROJECT ROW HOUSES

Of all my activities for fall 2011, the one I am most excited about is Project Row Houses, located here at my home base in Third Ward, Houston Texas.  The Project Row Houses event taking place in Third Ward features art installations and events scheduled from October, 2011 through March, 2012. As this project unfolds and culminates, I will be working on extending the scope and impact of the exhibit by taking this installation on the road and turning it into a global project. To begin this process, I intend to embark on an East Coast tour to display my doors and spread my message of recycling and environmental awareness.  The pictures above are of me doing an installation in row house 2507.  Be sure to come by and view my "What's in a Door?" exhibit at Project Row Houses.  Detailed info is below:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSALYN AND CHARLES!

 

October is my birthday month.   So, Brenda arranged for me and her friend Rosalyn to share the limelight in a birthday celebration as part of the Arts of Fine Wine at Winetopia this month.  Rosalyn and I got together and put together a fabulous party with live entertainment, DJ, lots of food, fun, dancing, fine wine, champagne and art.  It was awesome!  Check out the pictures and be sure to attend the next Arts of Fine Wine event at Winetopia.

WHAT HAPPENED IN SEPTEMBER?

 

September went by so fast!  It was a whirlwind month with lots of exciting art activities.  However, the most interesting event was the Gulf Coast Film Festival.  My interview entitled, "What's in a Door?", made for the Dominion Films show, Getting the Edge, was chosen as a finalist in the film festival.  

Throughout the weekend finalist films were shown at various locations in the Gulf Coast area.  During the airing of "What's in a Door?"  I was on hand with Producer/Director Abiiba Howell to answer questions and share information about the What's in a Door project.  The weekend event also featured a banquet with awards and presentations.  For that part of the event, I wore my red carpet jacket and got signatures from many of the distinguished guests present.  

In addition, I got to meet actress Marsha Mason who was the major honoree for the year.  My film didn't win but it got a lot of notice and generated lots of interest in the What's in a Door project.  You can find out more about "What's in a Door?" by visiting my current and upcoming events at Project Row Houses and the Houston Museum of African American Culture.  Look for more information to be posted in my next blog posts.
