Community Artists’ Collective, Community Music Center of Houston and Hogan Brown Gallery are proud to announce the Annual Legacy Project, a month-long celebration of Black Music Month. The Legacy Project honors local and national individuals' contributions to music.
“BLACK STEREO,” a collaboration between artist Tierney Malone, Community Artists’ Collective, and Community Music Center of Houston (CMCH), opens Sunday, June 9 at Hogan Brown Gallery, 2310 Elgin.
June is Black Music Month, celebrating the contributions of African American musicians, composers, singers and songwriters in American culture.
The event celebrates the many musical artists who have come from or have ties to Houston’s Third Ward. The Legacy Project celebrates musicians and music educators.

An opening reception will be held Sunday, June 9, from 3 to 5:30 p.m., followed by a concert featuring H-Town Orchestra in the Eldorado Ballroom from 6 to 8 p.m. An artist talk and musical performance will be held Saturday, June 22, from 2 to 4 p.m. All events are free.
The Hogan Brown Gallery, located within the Historic Eldorado Ballroom, is a community-centered gallery for burgeoning local artists. Operated by Lucille's 1913 - the philanthropic arm of Lucille's Hospitality Group - the gallery's inception serves as an art-focused extension of the nonprofit's mission to empower communities to discover self-sustainable livelihood through cultural and culinary arts. Led by Houston-based artist Robert Hodge, the gallery channels that same spirit to empower working artists with community-embedded gallery space to exhibit and sell their works, provide business-centered education and resources to further their artistic enterprise, and devote art-driven educational opportunities to Third Ward's next generation. Gallery hours are Friday through Sunday from 12 noon to 4 p.m., and by appointment from Tuesday through Thursday.
