Community Art Days are a great way for families to explore the exhibition.
Free Field Trips for Houston Schools
To coincide with the new exhibition, GRFA is providing free field trips to over 20 local schools to visit Rodrigue: Houston. Students have already begun visiting the show to see firsthand original works from George Rodrigue’s career and to participate in art activities that encourage observation skills, storytelling, and the principles of visual art.
Students learn about the career of George Rodrigue and make their own works of art.
