Blanc on the Green

I’m beyond ecstatic to announce my work has been chosen to be a part of Discovery Green’s spring installation, House of Cards!
Discovery Green has teamed up with 20 local artists and Israeli design studio OGE Group for its spring installation: House of Cards. Be among the first to see this incredible artwork by reserving tickets to Blanc on the Green, the inaugural benefit preview! Support public art and Discovery Green!
The Discovery Green Conservancy, invite guests to dress in white for a casually elegant evening of art, music, strolling performances, photo opportunities, desserts and the official lighting of the park’s spring public art installation: House of Cards.
Blanc on the Green, aimed at the city’s art-loving crowd, will be a visually, spectacular event to celebrate the park’s vibrant public art program and role as the heart and soul of downtown Houston. Revelers dressed in their white attire will be stunning against the park’s natural backdrop. They will enjoy samples of bitesize desserts, photo opportunities with roaming performers, recycled-material fashions, a DJ, magicians, and more.
The event will also give the crowd the first look at House of Cards, a public-art piece by Israel-based design studio OGE Group before the installation’s public opening on May 1. The installation consists of 126 oversized playing cards, each featuring original artwork, including 20 designed by Houston artists. During the day, the cards’ crisp white lines and colorful images will dazzle; at night, the structure will be illuminated to create the illusion of the house of cards rising and falling. Its first public lighting during Blanc on the Green will be the evening’s pièce de résistance.
All ticket purchases will support the Discovery Green Conservancy, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
