The experience is great. I would love to see more variety in their residence artist. It is always metal and clay. Once in a while they may have a fiber artist. Where is the glass? There a wonderful glass artist in Houston and I know some have applied

We love this little museum, which currently has an impressive exhibit on the material culture/memory of natural disaster loss. Before this was an exhibit the kiddos loved on Mexican food. We sent my stepson here for summer camp and he loved it (his artwork featured in one of the photos). They have lots of free art days that we attend and make art at.

Objects Redux. Crafts from 1969 show versus contemporary crafts. Also fiber art from Houston hurricanes. A great show worth seeing, and meet current resident artists. And its all free admission.

I love visiting here. Although the Center is on the small size, they have the most amazing exhibits. Every time I go they have something new and wonderful. In addition to the exhibits, they have workshops you can participate in and artists on hand that you can watch at their craft. It is well worth the visit time and time again.

Enjoyed it, although it was much smaller than I expected. The works that were on exhibit were quite interesting.

Incredible exhibitions are always innovative and informative. Their craft garden is a beautiful retreat in the middle of the city. This museum is always free! Also, dont forget to check out their Craft Social nights!

Great place to broaden your Artistic Horizons, especially when you take the time to meet their artists in residence and learn about their crafts and creative processes.The gallery shop is a wonderful space to select incredible one of a kind works of art created by studio artists and craftspeople from throughout the state.

An amazing exhibit of craft arts

I just missed the annual bowl event - I dont know why I never hear about it until its too late - and so when I went they were packing up and a whole large room was out of commission. That meant what was there was pretty limited. A couple of artists had their studios open but otherwise the main display was jewelry, which was fun, but our visit probably only lasted around 20 min. However, Ill go back; Im sure there will be something new to like soon!

This is a nice museum with several artist in house. You can visit with the artist if their door is open and purchase their works of art in the gift shop.

A fantastic display of are well thought out and deep. Also enjoyed speaking to the artist residents about their work. Everyone was very friendly.

Im new to Houston so I was very impressed when I walked into this Village of the small Museum building and noticed that it had artist-in-residence it has large displays from a couple of different artist some of which kind of pushed racial boundaries there was hyper realistic artwork there was a lot of artwork that evoked Decay a lot of experimental pieces that showed a lot of talent using Ceramics I just really enjoyed my time there and the curators are very friendly oh and also theres sort of an attached to garden and I definitely enjoyed walking through the green space and getting a show my boyfriend some of the different plants

The exhibits and center were nice. We liked the residency program. The 3 or 4 exhibits were interesting. However, I felt that it was sparse and adding more crafts with layers of complexity would appeal to a larger audience.

This is my favorite art museum in Houston. It may be small, but the exhibits are top notch. You never know what you will see! Some of my recent favorites were basketry, neon signs, and my all time favorite was sign painting. It is free to go. They have an amazing gift shop with local artists wares to purchase. If you venture away from the main gallery you even get to peak inside the artists in residence’s studios. So fun!

The Center for Contemporary Craft is always one of my favorite places to go. Its always fun to look in the gift shop and see what pieces the artists have been working on. Its totally free to enter, which makes it a great spot for any art lover or someone on a budget looking for a hidden gem in the city. Right now, theyre in between exhibits, but they always have pop-up shows that can include pottery or other forms of craft. But dont be dissatisfied if theres no exhibit- you can always go to the back of the building and watch the resident artists work, or chit chat with them! The student Bai Lai made the works in my pictures- all out of paper! Unfortunately, they were not in when I went but I was very moved. Dont forget to stop by the bathrooms for pamphlets on whats going on in the art scene, theatre scene and exhibits around the city!

Unique art forms you will not see anywhere else. Most unusual textile and multi mixed materials to represent floods and hurricanes.

Im in love with Abi Ogles work!! @youbeeverywheretravelagency

One of my favorite art spaces in htown.

This center is a premier location for seeing unusual art. Unusual yes but real, great and true art. Craft is the key word here, all you see is based on craft. Always enjoy seeing the shows, sometimes twice like we did last year for the neon lights. Not your typical beer lights but innovative expressions created in neon lights.

I love this place. They host awesome free events, like workshops on basket weaving, and their events usually come furnished with free Buffalo Bayou beers. Their gallery is well curated, and the staff is knowledgeable and eager to share their expertise.

This is a wonderful place to come with kids and family. They have all kinds of activities.

Visited after a few years away and was a bit disappointed. I remember a vibrant place with hands on arts and crafts. Now it was dull.

Fun for the kids and totally free! I always enjoy when they host the pretty pottery sales with the elementary school kids. $1 pieces and some are totally exotic

Had a horrible experience if you have kids beware they watch you and the kids like a hawk we couldn’t even enjoy ourselves a lady was following us closely the whole time I left furious and no family deserves to feel that way. Rather pay that have that experience again.

Love the constantly changing exhibits. Every time I visit, there’s something new. I love how the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft will have arts from marginalized and unique artists to show the diversity of art! Will definitely eat back a lot!

Monthly craft on first Saturdays are the best. Staff and volunteers patient and friendly.

Came for the juried annual craft show and was not disappointed. Wide and wild collections of creative crafts. So unique and fanciful. Definitely a hidden gem among the Museums in Houston. Terrific gift shop too for unique items.

A place where creativity thrives, cool pieces

Cool exhibits, and its neat seeing the artists studios and works.

Enjoyed interacting with the artists and their pieces.Abis large embroidery piece pleasently haunts me. A dream fort of whispers, a portal into a mystical web of threads pulled from the mind, I could lose myself in this space, feeling safe, harbored amongst these wings of light and air. It is like a veil, a thin veil that invites exploration of what may be caught in the changing pattern.Thank you for the re-membering.

I went to an event here recently so I cant say too much about how it is day to day, but it served as a great venue, very well organized, inviting space, I did see their gift shop which included some beautiful sculptures and handicrafts, I was especially fond of the outdoor space.

Alwas different and mind expanding.

The have great art exhibitions and great people that work there.

Always something to wonder about (and wander through)

Fun place to visit. Current exhibit is fantastic. You need to go see this center.

LOVED it! Kids group class for homeschooling. Amazing instructors and tour!

My favorite small gallery!!! Interesting fun art and artists, free monthly events for the family, the best gallery gift shop with some of the coolest gift items and the friendliest and most talented staff you will ever meet.

I love this place. I have never seen a bad exhibit here. The exhibits change often enough that you are never bored.

Such a unique place that should be better known, appreciated and celebrated

This was a small museum with one featured exhibit and several small collections. Currently, they have a cool group of being and plasma sculptural pieces. In addition to the art on display, there are several glass-walled studio space for artists in residence to use. One can watch the artists create their works.

Love the craft day every first Saturday. Everyone is always so nice and helpful.

Field-trip garden outside was beautiful.

We have gone to some exhibits and free events. Nothing special. The curated shows are mediocre at best. Certainly nothing unique or thought provoking.

Nice place to visit. I wish the installations were larger. I completed my visit in less than an hour.

Neat art installations when you are looking for something different.

Beautiful collection of crafts, my kids and I love it!

Wonderful experience! Wonderful art! A wonderful visit. The Director took the time to visit with us and welcome us!

A few interesting pieces in a small museum. The highlight was getting to watch artists work and talking to them. That made it well worth the visit.

Contemporary art is not everyones favorite, but this museum works to asist up and coming artists.

I never tire of coming here. There is always an interesting exhibition. It is fascinating to call in on the resident artists. The Asher Gallery is one of the beat shops in Houston.

This is a great exhibit space and has well curated exhibitions. The hallway is always as well done as the large exhibition space. The best museum shop in Houston.

Artists on site and available to talk about their art, parking behind the building off the street. Worth the visit, not large. Good gift shop with unique things.

Awesome free musuem! The people working there are so nice & obviously passionate. Enjoyed it alot!

I loved this place and will be back every time I visit Houston.

Wonderful place to visit

Great place to take the kids. I enjoyed the idea that you could talk with the artist.

Great gift shop of handmade items.

Ive been going here for years and years. Love it. The exhibitions are so varied, the gift shop has great pieces of jewelry and accessories, and the artists in residence are so talented and varied. Its just a friendly, creative little oasis.

The resident artists are very friendly and spoke to my 11 year old aspiring artist. Which made the fact the exhibit was shut down for transitioning to new exhibit less dissapointing

Go on a Saturday when the different craft guilds are there and doing demonstrations.

LOVE the craft exhibitions!

Displays were few, but interesting if you dont look to close. More than a passing glance enlightens your senses to the fact that this place has a very one sided political agenda. I had pictures of displays until I realized the theme of the approximately 5 different displays. Reserve donations until you finish the short tour, They displayed their opinions and I now displayed mine. I felt cheated.

Went to a free social, which they do quarterly. It was so much fun to learn a simple craft and listen to talks about the exhibits and garden.

Great free museum / art gallery. Really cool to see the artists working their craft!

Fantastic one of a kind coffee cups

Awesome! They feature locally made arts and crafts. The shop is amazing, lots of choice! And the entrance is free

Currently got nothing. Only five pieces and main hall closed. It’s free though

A great place for artisans and to view their work. Its in the museum district.

Awesome shows and artists. I didnt realize this little gem was there!

The diversity and the great talent displayed here make it a place well worth visiting!

Easy to find as long as one is informed that the back of the museum faces a major road.Will go back as they were closed at the time of the first visit.

Stop in for each artist show rotation. Take it in, and enjoy the presentations. Small place, but worth the visit.

It is interesting and has cool crafts for kids. Free to boot!

Great events. Very kind people.

Favorite spot in HoustonWell curated collections of contemporary craft

Great exhibits, including Empty Bowls.

Another great kid friendly art gallery with resident artist always showing their work

Great community activities and modern craft exhibits!

A real gem for Houston. Its a real joy to see whatever they are exhibiting.

Cool stuff in there. Plus the hands on stuff is great.

1st favorite museum in houston. 2nd favorite ever.

Very limited items get a feel of a craft museum

Free! ($10 suggested donation). Check this out if you are in the area. You can even chat with resident artists if you wish

Good for a quick visit to local craft people.

Current exhibitions honor soldiers.

This place had some cool stuff going on

Made a cup there. It was fun.
