The Health Museum in Houston has announced an open call for its upcoming healing arts exhibition "Age in Our Times," inviting writers and visual artists to submit works that reframe aging as a deeply human process. More than 20 works will be selected by a panel of jurors for an exhibition opening in October 2025 and running through Spring 2026. The call is open to Greater Houston area artists and writers age 18 or over, with a submission deadline of July 31, 2025.
This matters because the exhibition is part of the museum's Healing Arts Program, launched in 2024 by Healing Arts Manager Rose Tylinski, which explores the intersections of art, medicine, and culture. By focusing on aging and providing a platform for community expression, the program aims to build healthier communities through collaboration between artists, healthcare professionals, and educators, highlighting the growing role of art in public health and wellness initiatives.
