“The Gun Show,” Exhibt at the Art Car Museum

“The Gun Show”

11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. every Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. from December 7 until February 21 at the Art Car Museum

The Art Car Museum holds an annual open-call exhibit. This year’s event is titled, “The Gun Show,” and it’s subject is firearms. The Art Car Museum is known for being a little edgy and this year’s subject is in keeping with that tradition. A combination of emerging and professional (and local and national) artists on both sides of the issue have contributed works to the exhibit, including a painting showing a man, rifle in hand, sitting in what seems to be a living room, spent shells surrounding his feet. The piece, by Houston artist Peter Daniel Bernal, is titled The Defender.

There’s an opening reception with many of the artists at 7 p.m. December 7. Regular gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays. Through February 21. 140 Heights. For information, call 713-861-5526 or visit artcarmuseum.com. Free.
