Summer at Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts
May 30 2022
LEGO EXHIBITION BRINGS AN EXPLOSION OF COLOR AND FUN TO PEARL FINCHER MUSEUM THIS SUMMER
The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts has a fantastic summer planned, with an amazing exhibition of LEGO art, summer Art Camps, free Wild Art Wednesdays and much more!

“Mr. Frumble’s Pickle Car,” built by LEGO brick artist Jonathan Lopes, is one of more than 20 pieces that will be part of “No Limits: The Artistry of Bricks” this summer at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts.
NO LIMITS: THE ARTISTRY OF BRICKS
Opening June 4, this summer’s exhibition at the Pearl will feature works of art created by some of the most talented LEGO brick artists in Houston and across the country.
No Limits: The Artistry of Bricks is a free exhibition that includes more than 20 amazing pieces such as “Battle of the Alamo” by Adam Bell, “Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” by Gregory Jonason, “Mr. Frumble’s Pickle Car” by Jonathan Lopes, and “Chrysalis” by Lego Master Michael “Moto” Kanemoto.
“Our goal is to introduce visitors to art and architecture in a language they understand; to demonstrate the potential of imagination and the power of creativity,” said Courtney Gardner, director of the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts. “This exhibition elevates the toy to the realm of contemporary art.”
In addition to exciting LEGO creations that will be on display, children and adults can make their own brick creations through a special hands-on area of the exhibition sponsored by AAUW North Harris County Branch. Guests will be able to build on tables, walls and floors as they unleash their own creativity and problem-solving skills.
“The sheer number of bricks available to play with will be an exciting experience,” said Gardner, “as well as the opportunity to create with or near other children and families.”
No Limits: The Artistry of Bricks opens at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts on Saturday, June 4 with a kickoff event for museum members from 10 am. to noon, and the public opening from noon to 3 pm. The kickoff event also includes a food truck, scavenger hunt, art activities and more.
The exhibition continues through September 3, with regular museum hours from 10 am. to 5 pm. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is FREE. For more information, visit pearlmfa.org.
