The Silos is located in the Washington Avenue Arts District, a state recognized cultural district which boasts the highest concentration of working artists studios in the country. In alliance with the District, The Deal Company and the partner developers behind Sawyer Yards cultivate a supportive community for local artists and creative entrepreneurs.

ClayHouston presents FLUX: 2023 ClayHouston Members' Show. This annual Members’ non-juried show includes diverse works from current ClayHouston members who reside in and around the Houston area. Ranging from sculptural to functional ceramics, this showcase represents artists from varying levels.

Flux is the state of continuous change, an ongoing process, and in the context of clay and glaze, it is an integral element that facilitates important transformations within ceramics. Clay is a volatile medium that requires constant adaptation to translate concepts into tangible objects; from form to surface, ceramics carry evidence of the maker and the processes used. This dynamic material unites the Houston clay community across all backgrounds, levels, and interests.

On view September 21 - November 11 with an opening reception on Saturday, September 30 from 5-7pm.

Curiouser and Curiouser, a solo exhibition of new works by Silos artist, Scott White. The show takes place in the Bay 300 Gallery of the Silos at Sawyer Yards, and is free and open to the public Monday through Saturday, from 9-5pm.

The artist writes: "With their eight arms covered in suction cups and their probing eyes, octopi are curious and intriguing creatures. I am fascinated with the way they move and their sense of curiosity and wonder about the world they inhabit. I enjoy placing them in scenarios that may seem out of place. I hope that upon closer study and observation of my imagery, viewers might open their imagination and realize that maybe it’s not so far-fetched.

I create hand-crafted relief prints. In this digital world, my process is deliberately analog. It would be easy to create a digital image for carving and creating screens for printing but I feel that lacks the aesthetic and feel of a handmade piece of art. Small variances and imperfections make each print unique and special. I believe art should be fun and uplifting. This is why I try and create pieces that make people smile."

On view through September 30.
