Art League Houston (ALH) is excited to invite the public to the unveiling of the Sawyer Yards Mural Project by artists in the 2019 Summer High School Studio Art Intensive at 5:30 PM on July 13, 2019 at Winter Street Studio's. The event is presented in conjunction with the Saturday Night Market and Second Saturday Open Studios at Sawyer Yards.

ALH’s 2019 High School Summer Studio Art Intensive began on June 2 with 15 participants between the ages of 14 and 17. Students spent the first three weeks of June meeting with professional artists for talks and intensive studio art workshops, visiting art spaces around the city, and discussing ideas for their culminating exhibition in August. Thanks to a collaboration with Sawyer Yards, students were able to embark on a mural project under the direction of Director of Community Engagement, Eepi Chaad, and Houston muralist, Armando Castellan, who guided the young artists through an extensive research phase that investigated the historic neighborhoods that make up today’s Houston Arts District. Each young artist executed their individual contributions to the mural, which was completed the last week of June.
