ART LEAGUE HOUSTON GALA 2026: RE/MIX

78th Anniversary Gala
Friday, October 9, 2026 | 7–11 PM
Thompson Houston
Attire: Re/Imagined & Re/Worked

Join Art League Houston for an extraordinary evening celebrating the artists, cultural leaders, and patrons shaping the future of contemporary art in Texas.

This year’s Gala, Re/Mix, honors four individuals whose practices, leadership, stewardship, and advocacy have profoundly transformed the cultural landscape of Texas. Together, we celebrate artistic innovation, community, and nearly 80 years of championing artists and expanding access to contemporary visual art.

More than a celebration, the Gala raises essential funds to sustain Art League Houston’s artist-driven exhibitions, arts education programs, and free community initiatives that serve thousands of artists, students, and community members each year.
