When you think of Houston you might think of the Energy Capital of the World- maybe NASA, the Astrodome- a city of progress and innovation. You might also think of Screwston, the Be Someone sign, Mattress Mac, Slab Culture. Maybe you're a recent 'Stros fan or an oldhead still lamenting the loss of the Oilers.

Nearly 200 years after the city was founded, it truly feels that the city is only now coming into its own in terms of culture, subculture and history. It's one of the most diverse cities in the entire world, which can be viewed as an obstacle to central culture and customs or can in itself create a unifying sense of pride.

Join us on June 13th as local artists and photographers pay homage to the city as they see it. We hope to present a gallery showcase as diverse as the city itself!

As always, we'll have free booze on hand courtesy of Eureka Heights Brew Co, Bad Astronaut Brewing, Equal Parts Brewing and ciders from City Orchard! We'll have infused beverages from newest show sponsor 8th Wonder as well!
We'll make a batch or two of "purple drank" and wine will be available as well!

Participating Artists List TBA

This is going to be an awesome show- art, music, movies, drinks, and chill vibes. Food truck TBA.

Interested artists and photographers: Shoot us an email to TheInsomniaGallery@gmail.com with a link to your work or upload a few pics!
