1,000 FACES


Curated by Houston artist Tony Paraná, 1000 Faces includes over a thousand individual works created by ten national and international artists. Each artist has created a series of 100+ portraits. The exhibition is on view through June 22 in the Bay 200 Gallery of the Silos at Sawyer Yards studio building. 

The portraits on view are incredibly diverse and wide-ranging. The subjects represent people of different backgrounds, and the execution varies between colors, dimensions, and methodology. Each artist brings a unique perspective, reinforcing the diverse direction that our city and our world is going. Behind every face is a history, a lived experience.
