Houstonist hearts Lawndale. And we have a really big heart for their really big show, appropriately-titled The Big Show.

The Big Show is Lawndale Art Center’s annual open-call, juried exhibition. It has been an important venue through which emerging and under-represented Houston area artists gain exposure since the show’s conception in 1984.

The Big Show was formerly the East End Show, sponsored by the East End Progress Association, at Lawndale’s original location. The Big Show 2006 drew in 889 artwork submissions from 375 Houston area artists.

The selected show - curated by Dominic Molon, the Pamela Alper Associate Curator for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago - consisted of 106 works from 90 Houston Artists."

Tonight opens The Big Show with an opening reception from 6:30pm - 8:30pm.
