Step Inside Houston’s Creative Heartbeat!
A cornerstone of Houston’s cultural calendar is entering a new era. The 33rd Annual Artcrawl Houston returns this November 22, upholding the spirit of community-driven creativity that first sparked the event in 1992. For the first time, the event will move forward without its longtime organizers at Mother Dog Studios. In their place, a dedicated coalition of Historic Warehouse District artists, organizations, and galleries—facilitated by Carla Bisong of Bisong Art Gallery—is proudly carrying the torch.
Launched over three decades ago, Artcrawl Houston was born from a desire to connect artists directly with the public in the city’s then-emerging Warehouse District. The original organizers sought to create a space where art lovers could explore working studios, engage with artists, and discover Houston’s vibrant and growing art scene firsthand. That grassroots spirit still defines the event today.
“This year, we’re honoring the legacy while expanding the vision,” says Carla Bisong, who has operated her namesake gallery in the district for over 11 years. “We’re proud to keep the Artcrawl alive with the same energy, diversity, and open-door creativity that has defined it since the very beginning.”
The 2025 edition promises a dynamic lineup of open studios, exhibitions, installations, and pop-up performances, all taking place in and around Houston’s Historic Warehouse District. Artists and visitors alike can expect a celebration of contemporary art in all its forms—abstract, figurative, digital, performance, and more—accompanied by food, music, and family-friendly programming.
Organizers are also working to ensure the event is more accessible and inclusive than ever, with outreach to local businesses and organizations, expanded social media promotion, and community partnerships.
The 33rd Annual Artcrawl Houston will take place on Saturday, November 22, from 10 AM to 8 PM, with select events continuing through the weekend. Full programming and participant details will be announced this fall.
Come celebrate 33 years of artistic survival and expression in the nation’s 4th largest city — where creativity has always found a way to thrive!
