OPENING THIS FRIDAY, Collect It For The Culture III isn't just a museum-quality group show featuring works by 40 stellar Houston artists working in the fields of painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installation; it is also a bold initiative to educate first-time collectors on how to buy a piece of art and support the city's art-making community for the long-term.
<p>Since its launch in 2018 by Black Buddha Creative Agency founding director India Lovejoy and artist Robert Hodge, <a href="http://collectitfortheculture.com" target="_blank">Collect It For The Culture</a> has grown, as Lovejoy puts it, "like a small, cute puppy that's turned into a big Great Dane." This year, to accommodate the large number of works on display, Lovejoy and Hodge have procured a majestic, two-story space (actually, a former Forever 21) in the heart of Downtown. It's the perfect venue for the show's inclusive, curatorial vision, where artists relatively new to the game share wall and floor space with such established masters as George Smith, Jamal Cyrus and Project Row Houses founder Rick Lowe. "We really want to honor these artists with a space that feels like a museum," says Hodge, who is relentless in his search for and support of homegrown talent. "We have to cultivate the artists we have here in Houston, or they're going to leave."</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

<small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="Add Photo Caption...">Robert and his wife Nikita Hodge</small></p><p>One of the show's first-time exhibitors is photographer Joanna Booth, whose family portraits elevate her everyday subjects to a "<em>Vogue</em>-level" of high fashion and, for Hodge, speak to the importance of self-care and positive body-image in the throes of the ongoing pandemic. Not surprisingly, many works in the show directly or obliquely reference life in the time of Covid-19. Rabéa Ballin's latest body of work, "Quarantine Portraits," is a survey of hair styles created and worn by its subjects as many salons and barber shops remained shuttered for the foreseeable future. A complete list of the participating artists can be found at <a href="http://collectitfortheculture.com/artists" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">collectitfortheculture.com/artists</a>.<br/></p><p>"This isn't a show where you can do a quick walkthrough, have a cheap glass of wine, and then disappear," says Lovejoy, who is delighted with both the venue and the artists on display. It's a show that spans generations, mediums, and experiences, but the last thing Lovejoy and Hodge want is for visitors to feel overwhelmed or uninformed when looking at and considering purchasing a work of art. "We do our best to make everyone feel welcome," says Lovejoy, "and open their eyes to the fact that buying art isn't what some people have made it out to be." </p><p><em>Collect It For The Culture III</em> is on view Jan. 29 through Feb. 28, at 1201 Main St., Houston, 77002. Limited tickets are available. Masks required.</p>

Greater Houston Partnership’s 2020 Recap: A Post-Pandemic Economy, Honoring Rich Kinder
Jan. 27, 2021
Rich Kinder
AT ITS ANNUAL meeting yesterday, the Greater Houston Partnership presented Rich Kinder with the Robert C. McNair Civic Leadership Award, honoring Kinder's bountiful philanthropic contributions and civic involvement that together have truly advanced the city over the last several decades.
<p>Kinder, who co-founded energy-infrastructure company Kinder Morgan in 1997, the same year he created the Kinder Foundation alongside his wife Nancy, has consistently invested in transformational projects to better the region. Take the Kinder Foundation's contribution to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, for example, which enabled the redevelopment of its 14-acre campus; the Nancy and Rich Kinder Building opened in November. And the ongoing Bayou Greenways 2020 Project, which aims to create and connect green spaces around Houston, and Memorial Park Master Plan also benefited greatly from tens of millions of dollars from the Kinders.</p>

<p>The award, named for the late founding Texans owner Bob McNair, was presented by the current Houston Texans president Jamey Rootes, who is also a GHP board member. "Perhaps no other individual in recent memory has transformed the face of Houston like Rich Kinder," Rootes said during yesterday's virtual event. "Rich and his wife Nancy have invested in some of the most notable, game changing projects that have improved the quality of life for all Houstonians, leaving an indelible mark for generations."<br/></p><p>GHP's annual meeting also covered topics such as how the city's pandemic-stricken economy will recover and grow in the months and years to come. "I believe the pecking order of global cities is being re-established as we speak," said Amy Chronis, GHP Board Chair and Deloitte's Houston managing partner. "The winners will be the ones that … think strategically about where the world is headed as we emerge from this global crisis." She highlighted Houston's growing focus on building tech density and nurturing startups, and its continuance of diversifying its economy.</p><p>The Partnership also provided an update on its Houston Next plan, which was developed in 2019 with an eye toward improving quality of life and equitable opportunities in the city. Despite the year's setbacks, in 2020, the Partnership spearheaded 21 economic-development projects, accounting for $704 million in capital expenditures and 3,200 jobs for the region.</p>
