Co-chaired by Eleanor L. Williams and Tyler L. Hough, this year’s MARTY fundraiser blooms with the theme Flower Power — a vibrant, floral-inspired evening celebrating creativity, resilience, and community.

Now in its 36th year, Art League Houston’s Healing Art Program provides free, ongoing studio-based art instruction for adults living with chronic illness, physical disabilities, or other life challenges. Participants of all experience levels receive professional guidance, art materials, and a welcoming space to create, connect, and grow as artists.

The evening’s highlight is the Healing Arts Exhibition, featuring original works created by program participants and available for viewing and purchase. Guests will enjoy an inspiring night of art, community, and celebration while directly supporting a program that makes the arts accessible to those who need it most.

Proceeds from MARTY sustain and expand the Healing Art Program, helping ensure that creative opportunities remain available to Houston residents for years to come.

This event is free and open to the public. Donations are encouraged.
