These artists have donated their works for a silent auction, which will be dedicated to a noble cause – a scholarship fund. Their donated art pieces will grace the stage of our silent auction, a testament to their generosity and belief in the power of education and opportunity. With each brush stroke and sculpted detail, they contribute to a brighter future, shaping the destiny of the next generation. We are humbled and honored to announce that 100% of the proceeds from the silent auction will go towards the DREAM Scholarship. This scholarship, aptly named for its mission to foster Diversity, Representation, Equity, and Access for Minorities, will empower young minds to transcend barriers and embrace their potential as future leaders. As a united community, we shall support these aspiring scholars on their journey toward excellence. Through the gift of education, we envision a world where everyone can shine like the brightest star in the night sky.
Let this be an evening of art, not just for art’s sake, but for a profound purpose – to create ripples of change and ignite the spark of possibility in the hearts of those who dream big. Join us
as we shape the destiny of our city’s future, one brushstroke, one masterpiece, and one scholarship at a time. This fund will provide invaluable support to aspiring young professionals pursuing
higher education, paving the way for the next generation of leaders who will champion and promote the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in their respective
fields.
This event is an opportunity for us to come together, embrace our differences, and foster cross-pollination of ideas and perspectives. Join us as we celebrate diversity, honor our remarkable leaders, and support the dreams of our future trailblazers.

“Join us this October for a community fair and fundraiser which will bring focus to some of Houston’s organizations supporting a full spectrum of reproductive health care, especially for those who are capable of pregnancy. Organizations providing reproductive health and related services in this time where many are being diminished are invited to claim a table promoting their work and will introduce three live performances from some of Houston’s best bands, followed by a screening of the Josie & the Pussycats movie (2001) upstairs & a DJ set downstairs. We look forward to seeing you for a full day and night of film, music, and community collectiveness.”
This event is all about sending strong, community-based energy and material support back to women & LGBTQIA+ people in our community, people who need to feel
secure, and those struggling with mental health & other issues related to the lack of reproductive health care & the stripping of abortion rights in Texas.

“Illuminating the Void” explores a series of light-box sculptures produced by Houston-based multi-media artist, Stephanie Gonzalez. Curated as an exhibit to kick off The Woodlands Pride Festival, these expressive, meditative, light sculptures visually comment on all of our inherent, often inescapable internal anxieties, a metaphor trapped as light within each individual box. Prominently displayed in Glade’s central rotunda, these chromatically diverse sculptures pulsate light, bathing the darkened gallery space in a soft, colorful glow.

Energy, Frequency and Vibration. The Power of
Thoughts
A mixed media painting exhibition by: Stephanie Gonzalez
This exhibition engages the mind through a series of repetitive dots which is a
technique called point cloud or pointillism. This is a technique I learned while taking courses at Glassell under Professor and artist Brian Portman.
I am using the repetition of dots to represent a feeling that comes over you when
you are constantly thinking that something might happen. When you are feeding yourself things, they become things. These pieces explore the idea of frequencies and operating in different
frequencies that could stem from hanging out with new people who live in a different reality or frequency. These new people are in this reality because of the things they do, the way they spend
their time, and the things they think about. If you want to make music then you hang out with more musicians. You jump on their frequency and by doing so you shift your focus and reality and
become better at making music.
Hopefully the work displays a lot of energy due to my use of various mixed media
techniques. The application of the paint is both very loose but also very structured. These pieces have been changing or evolving. Some started as a completely different piece but now they are in
their final state and will be released to the public as a series based off the above ideas. I am hoping these pieces suggest that you can start to change your reality using your own
energy.

About this Event
“There Is Enough For Everyone,” is an art exhibition opening in Houston pointing a spotlight directly at the reality of scarcity within black and brown communities. Prodding the limitations, distribution, and access of wealth in the City of Houston and the country at large. The artists wish to widen the voices involved in the global conversation dealing with the scarcity and abundance of the “they”, the others, the blacks, the browns, or as Frantz Fannon put it, “The Wretched of the Earth.
The exhibition will guide us through the politics of cultural appropriation, intrinsic value, questions of sexuality, and what it feels like to be on the other end of society while managing the responsibility of keeping the globe connected and the world moving in a direction benevolent to everyone.

Please join me in this month’s open studio, Love Is For Everyone. As we know and honor, June serves as the country’s Pride month. Celebrating, remembering, recognizing and promoting the activism for equality for human sexualities, Pride gives our community a reason to look within ourselves and each other for the deeper connections and give love in bounty for what was once oppressed.
To celebrate my identity as a gay, Latina woman, I would like to dedicate my open studio to LGBTQ+ Pride as this exhibition, Love is For Everyone, deeply reflects the societal implications and emotional hardships that I have felt, experienced, and share with many people in this community.
The body of work I will be presenting aim to explore concepts of family value, homosexuality, and visual landscapes that navigate the difficulties of societal terrain and the process of my works.
I’d love the opportunity to connect with those of you who support and celebrate individuality as show my love for you all. To solidify my commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, I will be making a 10% donation to a local LGBTQ charity. I would love to hear YOUR suggestions on who should receive it.

Stephanie Gonzalez wins Escapist of the year! October 2015
It seems like it was yesterday when I applied to the Escapist mentorship program, it was 9 months of learning, creating and mostly growing. When I made it to the program my goal was to be Escapist of the year and I achieved that goal. Thank you to all the people who voted for me.
If you are an artist and you are interested in going full time and pursuing an art career, I recommend that you apply to be part of this wonderful program. Ryan Lindsay does a great job at helping with the business side of the art and John Palmer is just an amazing art mentor full of endless ideas and great advice. Thanks Ryan and John for helping other dreamers like me. Follow the link below to apply to be an escapist, learn more about the program and to forever destroy the stereotype of the struggling artist.

Works created with mixed media that reflect feelings of letting go of the past and starting a new

6PM - 9PM
After RAW, I needed to learn about myself and re-build my self-worth. Through trial and error, I found things that make me happy, things that make me sad and the things that I simply must let go because they no longer serve a purpose in my life. Through original artwork, A New Beginning reveals my learning and healing process.
There will also be a screening of Neiman Catley's six-part documentary series Intertwined. This one episode will feature me and give the audience a little bit of insight of who I am. You can see

Join me
while I unveil new works that represent the change and growth in my life. These pieces have layers upon layers of mixed media which represent emotions and feelings I have had for the past
year.
Many of
us have had difficult situations in our lives that have made us at one point or another lose hope. It is important to realize that there is always something good that can be found in the bad, and
that there is always something to learn. Creating these works saved me and allowed me channel negativity and bad emotions into something good. Something I love to and will continue to do as long
as I can. I would love to share that with you.

John Ross Palmer Announces the 2015 Escapist Artists
Palmer proudly announces
the members of the 2015 Escapist Mentorship Program: Stephanie Gonzalez, Luke
Poteete and Scott Tarbox. Michelle Sendy of Decatur, IL is this year's Millikin Escapist Scholar.
These four dedicated artists were picked
from scores of applicants from around the United States, a great percentage of which were repeat applicants. Hard-working artists submit a written application with art images, essays and a
recommendation to a jury panel, and then, as a Finalist, they present themselves for “speed dating” style interviews at Palmer’s newly-completed Escapist Artist Gallery & Studios (aka “The
Chrysalis”). Panels for scoring are comprised of top Palmer patrons, including: FCC Members Karen Bean and Bobby Paul Davis plus collectors Carolyn Watts and Donna Vallone (2010 Vallone Award
Winner). Read all about the history, mission and goals of this empowering program plus see first-class documentary videos by visiting EscapistProgram.com. Learn about the Chrysalisconstruction at
RefusetoStruggle.com.
"This class is young, innovative and
mega-talented!” exclaims Palmer. “The Houston Escapists will have a working Studio and Gallery spotlight in the state-of-the-art Chrysalis.” The 2015 Escapists will take the Pledge of the
Escapist at an exclusive Initiation Ceremony on January 25th at Palmer’s Historic Heights Art Gallery in front of former Escapist Artists and top Palmer Patrons. As a sign of the times, the
artists will receive their first assignment via Instragram during the week prior to their formal initiation. 2015 Escapist Scott Tarbox is exhilarated, “I believe I’m being offered a serious
opportunity to hone my style, reach deeper into the art community and challenge myself—and hopefully inspire other artists.” Tarbox, from Tomball, is a repeat applicant to Palmer’s prestigious
program. He is the first Escapist Artist that is widely recognized for his work with aerosols and presentation via street art.
Palmer’s Art Movement of Escapism is
aimed to forever destroy the stereotype of the struggling artist. His mentorship program, founded in 2009, teaches artists how to sell on their own and not be tied to the traditional art gallery
system. Palmer does this as a means of giving back to the art world--it is entirely free.
If you have any questions about Artist
John Ross Palmer or his Escapist Mentorship Program (EscapistProgram.com), please contact gallery co-owner Ryan Lindsay at 713-861-6726 or Ryan@JohnPalmerArt.com.
