Longtime Houston artist Vanessa Estrada brings her whimsical exhibit ยJust Kiddinย Aroundย to Koelsch Gallery, which shows kids engaging in the everyday pleasures of childhood. One shows a boy in shorts and cowboy boots with his hands on his hips, standing next to a rocking horse. Another depicts a young girl rather unsuccessfully blowing bubbles with her gum. And another shows a group of kids, burnt red from the sun, wearing nothing but smiles and identical rumpled white shorts. Estradaยs ยJust Kiddinย Aroundย is paired with Trey Speegleยs exhibit ยOutside the Lines.ย See both from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Through September 18. 703 Yale. For information, call 713-626-0175 or visit www.koelschgallery.com. Free.
Tuesdays-Saturdays. Starts: Aug. 14. Continues through Sept. 18, 2010
