UPCOMING EVENTS
MARVEL VS. DC
April 11th // FREE // ALL AGES // 7pm-11pm at Hardy & Nance Studios
For the first time ever, Insomnia Gallery is excited to present a local art showcase paying homage to the art of comic books! Since the golden age of comics in the 1930's to the silver screen blockbusters of today, for nearly 100 years we as a culture have been enthralled by this world of super heroes and super villains.
Join us on Friday April 11th as dozens of local Houston artists honor the two biggest companies in the comic world: Marvel and DC. Expect character portraits, famous landscapes, mashups and more!
We’ll have complimentary beverages from City Orchard, Bad Astronaut, Equal Parts and Eureka Heights as well as wine and batched cocktail options.
As with 99% of our events, this is a free event, an all ages event, a casual event, and dog friendly event! Art + music + food + friends = good vibes all night and the best way to kick off your weekend!
LIST OF FEATURED ARTISTS TBA
Interested Houston artists should contact TheInsomniaGallery@gmail.com with examples of your work. There will be no vendor market for this show, but there still might be an opportunity to sell your comic book related merchandise through us!

FREE SHOW // ALL AGES WELCOME
Join us on Friday May 9th as we host our most unique presentation of the year- an art show featuring local artists creating work that will ALL be black light sensitive!
When we say "sensitive" we mean these pieces will G L O W ! !
This will be the 6th time we present this showcase and it still amazes me to watch the artwork and the gallery space transform! You HAVE to see it in person to really experience it!
We'll dark out any hallway lights, kill the house lights, and replace them with black lights to create a unique experience unlike any art show you've ever seen!
Guests are encouraged to wear neon colors and we'll have highlighters on hand if you want to bedazzle yourself and get REACTIVE!!
As always, we'll have free booze on hand courtesy of Eureka Heights Brew Co, Bad Astronaut Brewing, Equal Parts Brewing and ciders from City Orchard! Cocktails and wine available as well!
