Thank You for Making RE/MIX a Night to Remember!
Art League Houston’s sold-out 2026 RE/MIX Gala brought together artists, friends, and supporters for an evening celebrating creativity and community. Your support helped raise over $290,000 for Art League Houston, sustaining our artist-driven exhibitions, arts education programs, and free community initiatives.
We were honored to celebrate Jamal Cyrus, 2026 Texas Artist of the Year; César A. Martínez, Lifetime Achievement Award in the Visual Arts; Joe Diaz, 2026 Texas Patron of the Year; and Surpik Angelini, Lifetime Achievement Award in Arts Leadership. Their artistic practices, leadership, stewardship, and advocacy have profoundly shaped Texas’ cultural landscape.
A heartfelt thank you to our gala co-chairs Daisy Perez and Sarah Beth Wilson, host Kam Franklin, and the artists, sponsors, host committee, volunteers, and guests who made the evening possible. From inventive Re/Mix & Match attire to a lively night of celebration, your energy and generosity made RE/MIX unforgettable.
Together, we continue Art League Houston’s nearly 80-year legacy of championing artists and expanding access to contemporary visual art, serving thousands of artists, students, and community members each year.
