Art and ballet unite for a first look at Houston gallery's new show

Chandler Art Gallery in Houston hosted a preview reception for "Forever Nebrada," a tribute to the late Venezuelan choreographer Vicente Nebrada. The event, hosted by Jeannie and Rob Chandler, brought together Houston Ballet members, Nebrada Foundation supporters, and arts advocates. Guests enjoyed a silent auction and a preview performance by Houston Ballet artists, offering a glimpse of the full production scheduled for June 27 at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts.

This event matters because it highlights the intersection of visual art and dance, demonstrating how galleries can serve as community hubs for broader cultural celebrations. It also underscores the role of private galleries and philanthropists in preserving the legacy of influential artists like Nebrada, while fostering connections between collectors, performers, and the public.
