NAVASOTA, Texas — Navasota welcomes a new Artist to their Residence program this Summer.

Sarah Gomez is set to begin her residence stay this June and the City of Navasota and Arts Council of the Brazos Valley invite the public to the opening reception scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on Friday, June 23 at The Horlock House.

The Opening Reception is a chance to welcome the new talented artist and view her featured exhibit "Pink Blanket." Refreshments and treats are also served.

The Navasota Artists in Residence program brings in artists from across the country to live and work in the Horlock Art Gallery and History Museum. The downstairs of the building serves as a gallery, and the upstairs serves as the artists’ living quarters and studio. Every six months, two to three applicants are selected by the ACBV to participate. Artists have the opportunity to create new works as well as showcase their compositions to the public, teach classes and host events.

The Horlock House Gallery & Museum is located at 1215 E Washington Ave, Navasota, TX 77868. The Horlock House is open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Artwork by Gomez will be changing periodically and is available to view at The Horlock House until Aug. 14, 2023.
