Redbud Gallery

About

Redbud Gallery is a fine art space located in Houston's Historic The Heights.

Story

Redbud Fine Arts opened in May 1999 and is located in the Houston Heights at 303 E 11th Street, at the corner of East 11th and Cortlandt Street, adjacent to Sharon Kopriva’s Studio. The gallery is typically open from noon to 5pm on Wednesdays thru Sundays and many other days on Monday and Tuesday. Visitors can view exhibitions at any time through the store front windows without entering the gallery or call 713.854-4246 to arrange an appointment. The goal of the space is to purchase, show, and sell fine art on a global basis. Gratis Art collection consulting and appraisal is also provided by the gallery.

Artists have ranged from masters to first timers. We show all media; including prints, sculpture, ceramics, photos, drawings, glass, paintings, and installations on a local, national and international basis. The openings are typically well attended on the first Saturday night of the month from 6pm to 9pm and the artist is often in attendance. Most people arrive on opening nights expecting to enjoy the art, meet with friends and to graze on cookies, another hallmark of Redbud openings. The gallery has shown metal folk art by 84 yr. Dallas artist Gladys Gostin, a rare 1876 History Timeline of the World, master prints by German Expressionists, assemblage art by George Herms, and an installation by nationally famous and published "The Art Guys". In 2001, the controversial national show Sextablos caused an uproar from a racial, vice and sacrilegious standpoint.

Well-known artists such as Lucas Johnson, Felicien Rops, Angelbert Metoyer, Al Souza, John Biggers, and many others have had over 170 solo showings in the last decade. The gallery specializes in works on paper by old and modern masters from Durer, Rembrandt, Ruscha, Man Ray, Rauschenberg and numerous German Expressionists. We are the Houston representatives of the Gujarati born artist, Amita Bhatt, who has a selection of new drawing and painting works available as shown on this website. In addition, we promote Texas art by organizing group exchange shows in Germany, China, Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, and France in addition to arranging national fundraisers for disaster work as in 9-11 and hurricane Katrina relief. Redbud also provides artists with an opportunity to work in Hilmsen, an artist run residency located near Salzwedel, Germany and operated by Hans Molzberger.

We are helping artists, providing reasonable priced art for collectors, and paying our artists in a very timely manner.
