The Key Show

Zeitgeist is pleased to present a group show that pays tribute to the history of our neighborhood. The Key Show features over 25 artists, who once had studios in Wedgewood-Houston. Join us for the opening reception, June 1, 5-8pm. On view June 1 - 29, 2024.

Last year, Janet Decker Yanez put together a show featuring anyone who still had a key to their former studio in the May Hosiery Building and the Martin Trust/Houston Station buildings.

An early iteration of this exhibit was hosted by The Browsing Room at the Downtown Presbyterian Church and this June, Zeitgeist is hosting an expanded version that includes more area creatives.

This exhibition is designed to be a platform for conversation, remembering, and sharing what was the vibrant creative community in the neighborhood from 1990 through the mid-2010’s.

This neighborhood would not be what it is today without these and many more creative individuals.

We want to keep that story alive and honor the artists who made Wedgewood-Houston, and keep from paving over our history.
