# Event Details - **Event Name**: October 30 Opening Reception - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 30 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 30 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Opening Reception Friday, October 30, 2026, 6–9 PM BOX 13 ArtSpace is pleased to present four new exhibitions opening Friday, October 30, 2026 6–9 PM. In the Front BOX gallery, “Slow Season,” a dual exhibition by Heather den Uijl and Hillaree Hamblin, explores introspection, adaptation, and stillness through nature and abstraction. The exhibition considers the quiet spaces we carve out for ourselves and the transformative power of self-reflection, inviting us to find strength, solace, and resilience in the slow and soft moments of life. “In Lands’ Brooches”, Dongyi Wu brings together ”No Longer Human” and “The Black in Dark” at the Back BOX gallery , tracing a shift from constructed scenes and imagined landscapes toward the conditions that shape boundaries, perception, and place. Drawing on her background in contemporary jewelry, Wu explores the “brooch” as both object and spatial logic-a way of marking a field within a larger land. In the Box 13 Window BOX Gallery, Lauren Hope Walker presents “The Portal of Blood, Sweat, and Beers” , a large-scale wall installation where the artist uses squishy pink paper pulp and glazed ceramics to depict a cosmos of symbols and marks that frequent her practice. Walker invites viewers to consider the space as an immersive painting, transforming the medium into one that they can experience bodily. Moving to our Upstairs BOX gallery, ‘Like Apple Pie’ uses soft sculpture, video, and collage to explore the intersections of Christian evangelicalism, harmful white Southern culture, and American consumerism. Inspired by objects associated with an ‘American spirit,’ Wicker combines denim, clothing, food, license plates, hot dogs, blue jeans, and camouflage to create a chimeric portrait of American identity. Themes of absurdity, exhaustion, and piety emerge through these repeated images and material processes. The exhibitions continue through December 5,, 2026. An Opening Reception will be held on Friday, October 30, 2026, 6–9 PM at BOX 13 ArtSpace, 6700 Harrisburg, Houston, TX 77011. These events are funded in part by the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance. Additional support is provided by The Brown Foundation, Saint Arnold Brewing Company, Giant Texas Distillers, JP Morgan – Nancy O'Connor Fund, and all who help make our programming possible. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/houston/october-30-opening-reception/200030787995848 - **Event Categories**: Exhibitions, Art, fine-arts, Nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Houston - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: 6700 Harrisburg Blvd, Houston, TX, United States, Texas 77011 - **lat**: 29.73731 - **long**: -95.30818 - **full address**: 6700 Harrisburg Blvd, Houston, TX, United States, Texas 77011 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: October 30 Opening Reception - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/73dd7234aca83af074d775809eaed21e4240955fbfc9678ec74073038220a469-rimg-w1080-h608-dc080808-gmir?v=1791291108 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is October 30 Opening Reception being held? - **A:** October 30 Opening Reception takes place on Fri, 30 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 30 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 pm at 6700 Harrisburg Blvd, Houston, TX, United States, Texas 77011. - **Q**: Who is organizing October 30 Opening Reception ? - **A:** October 30 Opening Reception is organized by BOX 13 ArtSpace. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
