Earth Week Events: MFAH Spring Festival & UH-Downtown Panel

A two-for-one update for 2024 Earth Week!

Museum of Fine Arts Houston - Spring Festival 2024, April 21, 1-5pm!

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, invites you to this free community celebration of spring and new beginnings. In the spirit of resilience and renewal, the MFAH also honors its 100th anniversary of opening in 1924….

Explore the Museum inside and out—find favorite works of art in the galleries, and try your hand at making art with local artists on campus. 

Like the city of Houston, the Museum has experienced dynamic growth through the years and is now a destination that champions diversity and international art. The Spring Festival celebrates that fusion of cultures through music and dance, art-making activities, and food from vendors across Houston.

Art-making projects led by area artists: “Transparent Layers of Art” with Melissa Aytenfisu; “Recycled Garden Quilts” with Naomi Kuo; “Mindful and Meditative Ink Drawing” with Leslie Cuenca; “Photography, Portraits & Postcards” with Tyler Allen; “Transportation + Art” with Ursula Andreeff.
