Station Museum of Contemporary Art
Midtown · Houston, Texas
The Station Museum of Contemporary Art is an independent museum in a converted Houston warehouse presenting politically engaged contemporary art with a consistent focus on social justice, environmental issues, and artists whose work challenges the structures of power — with free admission always. Founded in 2001 by James Harithas, the Station has been one of the most consistently politically committed art institutions in Texas, presenting work by artists from the United States and internationally whose practice engages directly with the urgent social and political questions of our time. The museum's independence from corporate or institutional funding gives its programming an integrity and directness that more establishment-oriented institutions sometimes cannot achieve.
