Houston boasts a tremendously eclectic artist community, and there are a multitude of people creating so many wonderful works all around the city. The only question is: where to find them all at once? Brittany Bly created Pop Shop Houston: Indie Craft, Art, & Music Festival last year as a solution. “What makes Houston so unique is its diversity,” Bly said by e-mail. “We can have Fat Tony, indie craft, an arcade, gorgeous sculptures and kids’ crafting all in the same space, [and] it fits together.”
Some 100 individuals and collectives will line the booths at Silver Street Studios showing off everything from paintings to comics to sculptures to jewelry to things beyond any practical definition. Urban Izzy and Shoe Bar will be at the festival, and Park Boutique is having its grand opening at the event.
Noon to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Silver Street Studios, 1501 Silver. For information, call 713-659-9491 or visit popshophouston.com. $17.
