Our Story

Founded by Art Teacher Hillary Osteen, after many joy-filled years in the public-school art room, Exploring Arts is a Houston and Southeast Texas art community built around creativity, connection, and making art more accessible to everyone.

We believe art should be experienced, shared, and enjoyed, whether that means discovering a local artist, creating something at a neighborhood pop-up, celebrating with friends at an art party, or helping provide creative opportunities to children and families who may not otherwise have access to them.
