It includes winners of the Pearl Fincher Museum’s Student Art Contest, which is sponsored by the museum’s Volunteer Guild and includes work by elementary, middle, and high school students throughout northwest Houston.
A second show, “Chronicles: Art in the Spirit of Storytelling” is coordinated by the Pearl’s Youth Art Council, and features work by teens from throughout the greater Houston area. Finally, Lone Star College will showcase art by their students in “Lone Star College Student Highlights.”
Please join us as we celebrate these talented young artists, by visiting the museum to enjoy their work. Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and admission is free.
“HEARD” by Tramaine Townsend
In the Cole Gallery this spring, the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is pleased to feature “HEARD” by Houston native Tramaine Townsend. A versatile visual artist, Townsend’s recent works capture the history and legacy of Black cowboys.
With years of experience in production and post-production, Townsend has had the opportunity to work across multiple industries including advertising, branding, marketing and entertainment. Through his work, Townsend explores minimalism focused on calculated production and thoughtful design. His approach relies on simple, direct imagery that resonates through its clarity.
“HEARD” runs through May 10, 2025. Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and admission is free. For more information visit pearlmfa.org.

Summer Art Camp
Registration is underway for the 2025 Summer Art Camps at the Pearl Fincher Museum!
Summer Art Camps will be held each week from June 2 through August 1. Camps offer a variety of themes in all-day or half-day formats, for ages 5 to 8 and 9 to 12.
Children will spend time in the galleries of the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts, exploring the summer exhibition, “Art Unleashed: Creativity You Can Feel!” Surrounded by touchable art and the infinite possibilities of imagination, campers will be inspired to head back to their studio classrooms and create their own works of art.
Among the many themes offered during this year’s summer art camps are Sculpture, All About Texture, LEGO® Brick Club, Mini Masters, Creatures, Comic and Character Design, Intro to Traditional and Digital Design, and many more!
Campers explore new mediums, techniques, and principles of art through hands-on visual art lessons, outdoor activities, and special instruction from guest artists. Through it all, they learn the principles of art, artistic processes, art history and their own creative style.
For course descriptions and to register, visit pearlmfa.org.
