ABOUT US

Our Story

Founded in 2020 by a Latin American woman artist and alumna of the Glassell School - MFAH,  MONTERROSO GALLERY embodies the vibrant and dynamic spirit of Houston's art scene. At the heart of our mission is a deep-seated commitment to nurturing local talent and providing a platform for artists deeply devoted to their studio practice.

Our Founder

Our founder's background as an artist and her educational experiences have profoundly shaped Monterroso Gallery's ethos. Her experiences, both in creating art and in academic pursuits, infuse MONTERROSO GALLERY with a unique perspective that celebrates diversity, creativity, and the power of art to connect communities.

​

Our Approach

At MONTERROSO GALLERY, we believe in the transformative power of art. Our approach goes beyond the traditional gallery model; we collaborate with esteemed curators and educators from Houston's art institutions to create meaningful and engaging art installations. Our space has become a nurturing ground for local artists, many of whom have launched their careers with their first solo shows at our gallery.

​

Expanding Horizons

We extend our reach beyond the gallery walls, curating spaces throughout Houston to make art accessible and bring it closer to the people. This initiative reflects our commitment to demystifying the art world and fostering a deeper, more personal connection between artists and the community.
