DESCRIPTION:Teal—a striking blend of blue’s tranquility and green’s 
 vitality—serves as both inspiration and vessel for this diverse collecti
 on of artworks that speak to transformation in its myriad forms. \nIn the 
 luminous heart of summer\, Sabine Street Studios presents Transformative T
 eal\, a bold and immersive exploration of change\, fluidity\, and renewal 
 through the prism of a singular hue. Teal—a striking blend of blue’s t
 ranquility and green’s vitality—serves as both inspiration and vessel 
 for this diverse collection of works that speak to transformation in its m
 yriad forms.\nCurated to challenge and enchant\, Transformative Teal brin
 gs together an eclectic group of artists whose practices span painting\, s
 culpture\, photography\, performance and digital media. Each piece embodie
 s the dynamic tension and harmony inherent in transformation: the push and
  pull between past and future\, the personal and collective\, the seen and
  unseen. \nThis exhibition invites viewers to immerse themselves in moment
 s of metamorphosis—whether subtle or striking—within both the artworks
  and within themselves. The varying shades of teal ripple across the galle
 ry space\, echoing waves of change that touch every aspect of existence. F
 rom intimate narratives of identity and healing to expansive meditations o
 n nature and society\, the works showcased reveal how transformation is a

 newal\, and revelation. \nJoin us on August 6\, from 6-8pm\, for a mesmeri

DESCRIPTION:The Cultural Center “Our Texas” will host Havana: Where th
 e Past Meets the Future\, a collaborative exhibition featuring Cuban-Ameri
 can artist Timoteo Domínguez Fuentes and Russian-American photographer Vl
 adimir Frumin. This visual dialogue brings together painting and photograp
 hy to explore themes of identity\, memory\, and resilience. \nDomínguez F
 uentes’ paintings examine migration\, cultural identity\, spirituality\,
  and social resilience through vibrant\, emotionally charged figurative co
 mpositions. His work merges traditional artistic language with contemporar
 y conceptual approaches\, reflecting on collective memory and the enduring
  strength of communities facing displacement and change. \nHis work has be
 en exhibited at venues including the YMCA and World Refugee Houston\, and 
 his murals can be found in hotels\, restaurants\, and schools across Houst
 on\, Cancún\, and Havana. In Cuba\, he was recognized as a winner of the 
 “Panchito Simón” Municipal Plastic Arts Competition. \nVladimir Frumi
 n’s photography complements these themes through stark\, contemplative i
 mages of neglected urban spaces—such as deserted parks and abandoned bui
 ldings—as well as portraits of isolated individuals. His work captures t
 he quiet dignity of those living on the margins of society. \nHis photogra
 phy has received international recognition\, including the Sony World Phot
 ography Awards for Conceptual Art (2016) and Portraits (2023). His work wa
 s exhibited at Somerset House in London. In 2016\, Frumin received the Car
 ol Crow Fellowship Award at the Houston Center for Photography for the doc
 umentary “Everybody’s 5th Ward\,” as well as Black & White Magazine
 ’s Excellence Award (2011) and Spotlight Award (2014). \nTogether\, the 
 artists create a compelling narrative of shared human experience\, bridgin
 g cultural and geographic divides through empathy and visual storytelling.
  \nThe exhibition is free and open to the public.\nGallery Hours:\nMonday 
 – Friday: 9:30 AM – 3:00 PM\nSaturday\, Sunday: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
