Do713 - What to do in Houston

Join us in Discovery Green on Thursday, May 19, to unveil the Portable On Demand Art Project!! Guests are invited to mingle with the P.O.D.A. Project artists and the sponsors while enjoying food and beverage provided by Fusion Taco and Saint Arnold Brewing Company.

The American Association of Museums 2011 Local Host Committee, in partnership with PODS Houston, the City of Houston, Discovery Green, the Houston Museum District Association and the Houston Arts Alliance, will be hosting a reception to celebrate the grand opening of the Portable On Demand Art (P.O.D.A.) Project in Discovery Green on May 19. The event will run from 6 – 8 p.m. in Maconda’s Grove. 

Following the Portable On Demand Art Project reception, attendees can rock out at Discovery Green's free, family-friendly Thursday Concert Series featuring guitar-goddess and sultry, soul singer Carolyn Wonderland!

The P.O.D.A. Project is a temporary public art exhibition featuring the work of Aerosol Warfare, BOX 13 ArtSpace, Jillian Conrad, Lynne McCabe, Gabriel Martinez, Metalab, Anthony Thompson Shumate and The Joanna. Each artist or collective of artists will uniquely transform a PODS® container into a work of art, one of which will be unveiled in advance to kick off this exciting show. This traveling exhibition will debut at Discovery Green May 18 – June 5, 2011, before touring a series of locations (TBA) throughout the greater Houston region. 

The P.O.D.A. Project is generously funded by PODS Houston and a grant from the City of Houston’s Special Initiative Grant Program through the Houston Arts Alliance and Houston Museum District Association.
