ISABELLA COURT’S ART PALACE MAKEOVER As of tonight’s grand opening opening, the ground-floor retail space of the Isabella Court Apartments will now be home to four functioning spaces for contemporary art: Inman Gallery, the new Inman Annex space, CTRL Gallery, and the just-moved-here-from-Austin Art Palace, run by the conveniently named Art Palacios. Art Palace has taken over the long-vacant space at 3913 Main St. last occupied by Finesilver Gallery. [Arts in Houston; previously on Swamplot] Photo: Art Palace
Very cool!
Jonathan Marshall’s show; Doubled Vision at Art Palace is a must see. This young, talented artist actually sent us a very thoughtful thank you note after purchasing one of his works last year. As a collector, that’s a first. Arturo, along with his artists, will bring positive energy to the Houston art scene.
Actually it isn’t in the old Finesilver space- Inman Gallery is using that space to exhibit some of their collection. Art Palace is next door in a space that housed an architect briefly but has been vacant.
Inman was using the space Art Palace is in now for their Dario Robleto exhibit. Now Inman’s “extra” space (on the south end of the building) is a lot smaller.
Art Palace had a nice opening (despite the nasty weather)and has a thought-provoking show, and a cool stable of artists, including Houston faves Elaine Bradford and Seth Alverson. The only bad thing is that the gallery is pretty small.
