Aspen-based painter and gallerist Christopher Martin’s eponymous Upper Kirby gallery at 2625 Colquitt Street is changing names and ownership. The high-profile Houston Gallery Row business, is being reborn as Avant-Art under former Christopher Martin Gallery Directors Ally Ondarza and Abigail Henningsen.
The gallery will host its soft opening to debut “Emerging Perspectives.” On view through October 14, the exhibit will feature artwork from their entire portfolio of artists to share their community vision.
