    Robert Hodge | Destroy and Rebuild

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT ALWAYS FRESH Connie McAllister Director of Community Engagement ALWAYS FREE Tel 713 284 8255 [email protected] The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present Destroy and Rebuild, a solo exhibition featuring work by Houston- based artist Robert Hodge. Robert Hodge: Destroy and Rebuild October 3, 2014 – January 4, 2015 Opening Reception Friday, October 3 | 6:30-9PM Artist Walk-Through Friday, October 3 | 7PM HOUSTON, TX (September 25, 2014)— Robert Hodge, The Great Electric Show and Dance, 2013. Mixed media on The Contemporary Arts Museum reclaimed paper. 41 x 54 inches. Courtesy the artist Houston is pleased to present work by Houston-based artist Robert Hodge. A musician and visual artist, Hodge has been involved in the city's art scene since the late 1990s. His practice has expanded to include site-specific sculpture that provides communities with a place to gather and interact. Robert Hodge: Destroy and Rebuild features fifteen paintings from the past two years, more than half of which were created specifically for this presentation. It is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition. As a visual artist, Hodge has been in pursuit of the recovery of cultural and political icons that have been lost to a fast-paced and ever-changing society. Trained in printmaking, Hodge has used strategies employed by graphic designers to convey his messages to combat social and political amnesia. Over the past five years, the artist has literally taken the paper—billboards, posters, post bills—that clutters the streets of his neighborhood in Houston's historic Third Ward and has converted it into material for his own work.

    Children's Museum of Houston Organizational Profile the Mission

    Children’s Museum of Houston Organizational Profile The Mission and History of the Children’s Museum The Museum transforms communities through innovative, child-centered learning, achieving this goal by 1) fostering the development of the region’s significant child population; 2) increasing and supporting parents’ engagement in their children’s learning; 3) providing learning experiences that reinforce and supplement school classroom instruction; 4) reducing the effects of poverty on learning; 5) serving a multicultural, multilingual population; and 6) promoting workforce preparedness through the development of 21st century learning skills. CMH was founded in 1980 by parents responding to a community-wide need for interdisciplinary and participatory educational exhibits and programs for children from birth through twelve. The first exhibit was presented in 1984, with operations initiated at a leased facility in 1985. A $10 million capital campaign raised the funds needed to open the Museum’s permanent home in Houston’s Museum District in 1992. A second capital/endowment campaign raised $35 million to enlarge the Museum’s facilities and expand programming regionally and nationally, with expansion completed in 2009 featuring thirteen new exhibits, an enhanced Parent Resource Library that serves as a Houston Public Library branch, and the outreach resources of the Institute for Family Learning. A third capital campaign raised $4 million for a sister museum opened in Fort Bend in 2016. An additional $3 million has been raised since 20145 to grow the endowment’s corpus. The Museum at 1500 Binz The Museum hosts thirteen exhibits, a branch of the Houston Public Library, a performing arts series, and bilingual programming that changes with every WonderWeek theme.
