Field Trip

Field Trip to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston

We have an exciting field trip on April 11 with the Museum of Fine Arts Houston curator Cindi Strauss. She will take us on a private, behind-the-scenes tour of some of the museum’s art in storage. The tour will NOT be at the museum’s public buildings; we will meet at the museum warehouse at 9250 Park South View, Houston, 77051 at 10 am. The tour will last until 11:30 am. We have had the opportunity to have this specially-led tour with Cindi in the past and it is always amazing. Please make an effort to come to this special tour of the MFAH stored treasures! This is a special opportunity for our group, so let’s all plan to attend! 

Let’s Do Lunch!

Anyone interested is invited to go to a local restaurant for lunch after the tour.

Additional Activity: Empty Bowls Project

Empty Bowls Houston is an annual grassroots event supported by artists, skilled crafters, students, and teachers dedicated to alleviating hunger in the greater Houston area. Since the inception of the event, Empty Bowls Houston has raised $1,200,846 for the Houston Food Bank!  (This equates to more than 3,602,537 meals for the hungry!)

Glass Gathering members have been donating glass bowls for many years to support the cause. After our April tour at MFAH, anyone who can work independently to create a bowl to donate is welcome to return to Harmony Stained Glass to create a project. Bring your own Bullseye glass or purchase what you need. Harmony will donating all firing needed to complete the bowls.
