Other interesting possibilities include a
proposal by the Art League of Houston to
operate a permanent Visual Arts Registry
and Information Center. It would work as an
information service about the arts, housing
a comprehensive 35mm slide collection of
artists and would be able to tell callers
where to find a particular artist's work,
where to find galleries that specialize in a
particular art form, what events are going
on in the area, where to go to market art,

Out of the museums and galleries and into
the streets.... Another of Houston's finest,
Mayor Kathy Whitmire, does seem interested
in art, specifically, Auto-Nomy. This group
of artists spoke with the mayor and report
that she was quite receptive. Auto-Nomy’s
goal is to make art more visible to the
public. In Houston, the best way to do this,
Auto-Nomy believes, is to mobilize art,
turning cars and streets into art works.

alarmist in the crowd. The firefighters
didn't seem very interested in the art, and
there was no fire, so they just left. Oh,
well....
The Latino Alternative Art Gallery is a
proposal by the Latino Learning Center to
make links with and through the visual arts
with grassroots, neighborhood Hispanic
communities. For details of this, telephone
223-1391.
Auto-Nomy is also big on getting the
Houston-Galveston passenger train running
again. They're tentatively planning a
caravan and one-of-a-kind wearable art
show for Oct. 29. For more information,
call 864-5783 and attend their meeting
Sunday, Sept. 25.

The idea of alternative art spaces came
very late to Houston, arising here, as every-
where, through social needs and artists'
sense of frustration with existing exhibiting
possibilities. Also as everywhere, now that
they are in operation, it's a matter of
keeping the balance between self interest
and social concern. Good for Houston that
they are here....
The exhibition has already been shown at
the Alternative Museum in New York
(curated by Ann Haritias, Geno Rodriguez,
Peter Frank, April Kingsley and Alex
Coleman). For more information, phone
223-8346.

.... More possibilities — Emerald City
Artists, in conjunction with Creative
Alternatives, has a project called BriefCase
for the Arts. Emerald City Artists' stated
aims are to bring visual arts workshops,
exhibits and public arts seminars to the
Houston area. The Brief Case for the Arts
project is specifically designed to introduce
the visual arts to business personnel in an
informal lecture series. Conceived as a
project that will help bridge the gap
between the business world and the visual
arts communities, the series addresses
several assessed needs of both communities.
