​Artist Charles Washington is taking his existing public art spaces to a new interactive level by developing a virtual tour component for them! Through the use of audio/ visual technology, the artist is developing a storyline for his public art that viewers can either physically tour with a printable interactive map or via our website. 
(Made possible thanks to a grant from Houston Arts Alliance)

​A creative arts venue developed by reclaiming an old business building on Historic Almeda Road in 3rd Ward Houston near Midtown by the Harambee Productions division of Harambee Art Gallery. The Pop Up Place was established to create memorable fine art exhibitions, engage visitors in experimental arts activities in addition to providing a lively venue for multi-genre Pop Up events and ongoing regularly scheduled arts activities. Our motivation for this venture is to gain greater exposure for the gallery, expand awareness about green art initiatives, and develop a following for art programs offered by the gallery. In addition, we will provide an arts marketplace with opportunities for artists and art lovers to connect, interact and share positive experiences.
