Art Circle Electronic Brochure 2020

Exciting Art! Fabulous Locations! Speakers Extraordinaire!

Art is more than the way we demonstrate our thoughts and emotions. Art is about sharing the way that we experience the world!

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known ~ OscarWilde

Art Circle, an art affinity group aligned with the Holocaust Museum Houston, was created to connect Holocaust Museum Houston members and the Houston community with artists and collectors engaged in social, political and/or human rights issues. Art Circle takes in exhibition or collection-centric events partnered with art education, cocktails, nibbles and more! An excellent opportunity to stay connected with other art enthusiasts in the area.

Art Circle membership supports the art exhibition program at the Museum.
