For the past three semesters, University of Houston sculpture artists have been forced to work in virtual isolation. After a year of canceled exhibitions, limited studio access and online-only classes, the 22 students prevailed and now present an exhibition titled Annex Energy.
Annex Energy is a tribute to the resilience of the UH sculpture program during the time of COVID-19. SITE Gallery Houston at Sawyer Yards, 1502 Sawyer St., is displaying the exhibit through Aug. 19. It is free and open to the public.
âAnnex Energy was named to recognize the UH School of Art graduates and current students who have contributed so much to the Houston art scene since the explosive energy of the Lawndale Annex, to the South Park Annex and now the new building at Elgin Street Studios,â said Michelle Matthews, organizer and a sculpture graduate student.

SPENCER In its debut year, the Family Treatment Court program serving Roane and Calhoun counties celebrated its first graduate Friday.
Melissa May started the program in February of this year and through her dedication, she was able to complete the program and get custody of her 2-year-old son again.
The program, which began in the counties earlier this year, focuses on bringing families back together and to help people with their journey to recovery from drugs or alcohol.
