Ask me what you're after.
Every day from Sep. 22 to Jan. 3
Lone Star Flight Museum · South Belt / Ellington • $12-$18
Step into 116 years of Texas aviation history where vintage aircraft share hangar space with Emilio Pucci's bold flight attendant designs. This exhibit pairs homegrown engineering swagger with high-fashion mile-high style.
Every day at 9am from Sep. 26 to Oct. 31
The Silos at Sawyer Yards · Washington Avenue Coalition / Memorial Park
ClayHouston presents Bayou Mud, an annual non-juried exhibition featuring diverse ceramic works from local artists. The showcase highlights a wide range of functional and sculptural pieces created by members of the Houston community.
Every day from Oct. 30 to Dec. 5
BOX 13 ArtSpace · Magnolia Park
Step inside a painting you can actually touch. Lauren Hope Walker fills Box 13's Window gallery with squishy pink paper pulp and glazed ceramics: bathtubs, blood droplets, and hairbrushes swirling into one delightfully disorienting queer femme dreamscape.
Every day from Oct. 30 to Dec. 5
BOX 13 ArtSpace · Magnolia Park
Four artists, four galleries, one very full afternoon. BOX 13's latest round spans squishy pink paper pulp cosmos, denim-and-hot-dog Americana, quiet abstractions, and jewelry as spatial logic.
March 24 at 6pm
The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston · Westside
An art auction where every piece has a story and every bid supports adults with disabilities. Brookwood's 40th anniversary gala pairs Citizen-made art with a live handbell performance at the swanky Post Oak Hotel.
Every day from Oct. 23 to Dec. 10
Houston Museum of African American Culture · Houston Museum District
Fashion as cultural memory: screenwriter Keli Goff's celebrated collection of Black American design gets its first major institutional show. Spot pieces by Patrick Kelly, Stephen Burrows, and Virgil Abloh.
Browse Houston neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
