Kick off Go Texan Day and rodeo season at the opening reception of Clutch City Craft, an exhibition surveying the makers and material traditions that have shaped Houston. Come with your finest Houston westernwear—boots, buckles, hats, grillz, and low riders are encouraged!—for a chance to take home prizes. Judging begins at 7:00 PM. The evening will also feature open studios by the newest resident artists. Beer generously provided by Frost Town Brewing.
Clutch City Craft is curated by Sarah Darro, Curator & Exhibitions Director at HCCC. The exhibition is presented in concert with Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026, a national semiquincentennial initiative organized by Craft in America and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum to showcase the central role of handmade knowledge in shaping American life.
