There are few places in the United States that are really dedicated to sculpture and artwork the way Santa Fe is. One of the few places that might that might come close however is Houston. It isn’t just one or two exhibits that you have to go see if you are interested in seeing all the great sculptures there are in Houston, or even all the types of sculptures that there are to see in this town. If you are staying in one of the best hotels in Houston the first place to go in your art journey is along Gallery Row which will have in it artists of all types and all mediums, but still has a healthy number of sculptures. Thornwood Gallery in particular has a number of nice sculpture pieces, with a little bit of something for everyone. They do a new exhibit every month, so things are always changing. Overall, Gallery Row may be one of the best places to get a glimpse of great Southwestern artwork which takes some talent to fall into that category.

When you are done there you will want to make sure that you don’t miss the Monumental Sculpture exhibit presented by the Texan-French Alliance for the Arts it is a nine month exhibit in Hermann Park. The pieces are not all together so you will have to walk through the park to see them all, but it is more than worth it. Each piece is no less than 2 times the size of a person and for the most part they are abstract pieces. On average they are around thirty feet tall and being made out of steel they weigh around twelve tons.

If there is still more time in your trip, try to get down to the Devin Borden Hiram Butler Gallery. This gallery is mostly a garden and a small cottage that has been converted into a gallery. Darryl Lauster and Dean Ruck, two famous Texans show some of their work here.
