ART CIRCLE

Become an HMH Member Today It is an exciting time to be an HMH Member! In June 2019, we will unveil the new Lester and Sue Smith Campus, which will be the fourth-largest Holocaust museum in the country. In our expanded facilities, we will be able to showcase more exhibits, host more community events and accommodate more visitors, enabling the Museum to welcome an even wider and more diverse audience. As an HMH Member, you will be invited for a first-look at the new building, receive free admission and reduced parking, as well as special discounts at the new café and bookstore for one full year. By becoming an HMH Member, you not only support our mission to teach the lessons of the Holocaust, you’re supporting our promise to Holocaust survivors to make our future different from their past.

It is with great pride and pleasure that I announce the new 2018/2019 Season for Art Circle! Please join me in supporting this special art affinity group whose mission is to connect Holocaust Museum Houston members and the Houston community with artists and collectors engaged in social, political and/or human rights issues. Through a membership in Art Circle, you may deepen your understanding of the purpose and function of art, as well as broaden your perspective on humanity by opening your eyes and seeing art in a variety of lights as one would ideally see mankind. Art Circle takes in exhibition or collection-centric events partnered with art education, cocktails, nibbles and more…an excellent opportunity to stay connected with other art enthusiasts in the area, all while supporting the creation of art exhibitions at the Museum and advancing upstanding convictions and positive actions. Please visit hmh.org to see the complete 2018-2019 Art Circle Program and become a member of Art Circle without delay!
