★★★★★Luis Alcala

My daughter loves going to ceramics class. She has also done comics creation, and sculpture. They have a lot of art classes to pick from.

★★★★★John Bretschneider

The junior school is fabulous! The teachers are all phenomenal. Check out an open house and your child can try some hands on arts and crafts.

August 2023: The MFAH Glassell School of Art was on top of my Houston to-do visit but unfortunately too late to go inside. However you have public access to walk around the outdoor Brown Foundation, Inc. Plaza exploring the Cullen Sculpture Garden. My primary goal was to see the Cloud Column sculpture. I have see in person Cloud Gate (“Chicago Bean”) in Chicago and read the predecessor was being installed here. It was remarkable to see and marvel at. Besides this sculpture there are other amazing ones scattered on the grounds. The artistic environment here is top notch. There was even a splash pad for the kids and covered tables chairs. This nicely landscaped plaza also has a place to dine at Cafe Leonelli.

★★★★★Denitra Crowder

I think this is a great place for content creators. The concept is open, there is plenty of artwork and the cloud sculpture is nice as well. It’s also not to far from the fine arts museum and Herman Park. The area itself is beautiful for making reels or anything else you could need. Plus the sculptures and artwork are great just to enjoy.

★★★★★LDM

Very underrated Cloud Column here done by same sculptor as the bean in Chicago. Also from the top, there are tremendous views of both Downtown Houston and Medical District skylines.
