The Collective opens its fall exhibition season with “Blended Talents, Multiple Mediums,” a collection of cooperative and collaborative creative works, and a “Hot Nights on Holman” evening. The exhibit runs October 5 through November 3 and showcases artists who pair with another artist with whom they have a personal bond to create a collaborative piece. Participating artists include MOCAH (Museum of Cultural Arts Houston) founder Reginald Adams partnering with The Collective’s co-founder Michelle Barnes. Also included are body artist Vonetta Berry partnering with photographer Teidra Bandele, performance artist/dancer. This exhibit will explore the stretch of artists’ relationships and their mediums, whether in their own or in a complementary discipline. The exhibit opens with a reception at The Collective Friday, October 5, from 6 to 8 p.m., followed by the movie “Medicine for Melancholy,” a love story of bikes and one-night stands told through two African-American 20-somethings dealing with the conundrum of being a minority in a rapidly gentrifying San Francisco. “Hot Nights on Holman” are presented by Planners’ Revolution, the community development division of The Collective. The idea for “Hot Nights” was generated by the April 2011 “Hot Block on Holman” event, a one-day living workshop designed to energize Midtown/Third Ward and demonstrate how well-designed streets and roads can create safer, more accessible neighborhoods in which to live, play, work and shop. The 6 to 8 p.m. reception is free to the public. The 8 to 10 p.m. movie, which includes free cocktails and food catered by Tre’ Village Smokehouse, is $15.
The Schedule for Midtown Visions &“Hot Block on Holman 2.0” to energizeMidtown/Third Ward in April
This year’s event, scheduled from 4 to 10 p.m., coincides with the all-day Art in the Park festival at Baldwin Park and Midtown Visions Art Tour. The first “Hot Block on Holman,” introduced in April 2011, was a one-day living workshop designed to energize Midtown/Third Ward and to demonstrate how well-designed streets and roads can create safer, more accessible neighborhoods in which to live, play, work and shop. This year’s event again features movies, drink, popcorn, music, Vegan Comfort food and craft vendors, original art and sidewalk tables and chairs and bike parking. Admission ranges from $5 to $15. Art viewing is free. The movies, which all feature sustainability themes, are “Carmen Jones,” and “Medicine for Melancholy.” Discussions after the movies will be facilitated by Planners’ Revolution staff, the community development division of The Collective, and its partners Zakcq Lockrem of Citizens’ Transportation Coalition and Jay Crossley of Houston Tomorrow.
The Collective provides after-school and summer art classes for children at a number of venues, including the Performing and Visual Arts Workshop at the St. James School, the Academy for Accelerated Learning, Inc., and SHAPE Community Center. The classes teach printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, drawing and painting, as well as providing experiences in other media–and most of all an appreciation for their unique expressions. Hana Bibliowicz, Michelle Barnes and other experienced teaching artists guide the children’s classes and mentor emerging artists to develop their skills as instructors.  Hana Bibliowicz teaches a ceramics class.
