Lawndale Art Center is an art gallery in Houston with multiple gallery spaces designed to show all kinds of artistic works including paintings, sculptures, photography, and installations. The rooms are arranged to accommodate different art forms and sizes.
The center was founded in 1979 by artist James Surls in a warehouse at the University of Houston. It later moved to an Art Deco building that serves as its home today.
The center displays work from hundreds of artists each year through rotating exhibitions, including events such as Dia de los Muertos and The Big Show. These shows reflect the artistic diversity of the local and regional art scene.
