WORKSHOP
Saturday, August 10, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Join us for an hour of creative stress relief as we take photos and sketch house plants. No previous knowledge is required! This is not a skill-learning workshop, but rather a time to relax and enjoy the fun of deep observation. You will need a phone with a camera and an open mind. This non-result-driven workshop welcomes both self-identified artists and those who don't see themselves as artists, of all ages. Pencils and paper will be provided.
Capacity is limited, so reserve your spot.
Workshop cost: $8

WHERE THE LINES MEET
Opening Reception
Friday, June 7, 6-9pm
Throughline is proud to present Where the Lines Meet, an exhibition of new works by Jonas Criscoe and Luisa Duarte, held in conjunction with Print Houston.
“Where the Lines Meet” explores the nature of lines, and the space created when they intersect. The exhibition highlights the vibrant connection between two artists from different backgrounds through printmaking forms, from monotypes and etchings to collage and mixed media works. Here each artist showcases their own distinct identity without undermining the other’s diverging perspective and artistic expression. Criscoe and Duarte invite you to join them on a journey of mutual respect and admiration - in each other’s work, the forms they explore, and in the magic of printmaking.

Throughline’s first 2-artist member exhibition kicks off with an Opening Reception on Friday, April 19, from 6-9pm.
Potentia // Actualitas is a collaborative, immersive installation by Cindee Klement and JR Roykovich that explores the potential and actualized complexities of natural intelligence through lens-based media, found objects and ready-mades, in a site-specific installation. TTogether, Klement and Roykovich have built a world that investigates opposing dichotomies and freedom from dualistic constraints. They advocate for a wild and intuitive response to a possible future of unbound potential.
