PLEASE NOTE: The show is open to the public July 4 but the opening reception is July 11.
Archway Gallery is honored to present its 18th Annual Juried Exhibition, benefiting the nonprofit organization, Friends for Life. The annual event is an opportunity for 2D and 3D artists who are not members of the gallery to participate in a group exhibition in Houston’s longest-running artist-owned and operated visual art space, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Area artists are invited to apply and will find the prospectus on the gallery’s website once the application period opens.
This year’s invited juror, Donna Tennant, will select works from among those submitted by local artists for the exhibition, which runs from Sunday, July 5 to Thursday, July 30. Fifty percent of all 18th Annual Juried Exhibition sales will be donated to Friends for Life, chosen by gallery members as the event’s community partner. Artists may enter one or two works for an entry fee of $30. Prizes are awarded at the discretion of the juror and include cash awards for first-, second-, and third-place winners. The first-place winner also receives guest artist privileges for one month at Archway Gallery.

Friends For Life is a Houston-based animal shelter founded in 2002 whose mission is to save the lives of pets and create lasting connections between humans and pets. The focus is to understand each animal as an individual, find the perfect match for adopters, and provide the support needed to ensure pets thrive in their new homes. Every adoption is about creating relationships that last for the pet’s lifetime. Friends for Life provides medical care, enrichment, and behavior support to give every animal the best chance at a happy life. Beyond adoptions, it provides resources and guidance to pet owners in need. Its mission is not just to rescue animals, but to build a community where pets and people can thrive together.
