Art League Houston (ALH) is excited to invite the public to our annual fundraising event The Marty: A Montrose Art Party, on Friday, May 3, from 6 - 9 PM. The event benefits ALH's Healing Art Program, which provides free art instruction and supplies to adults living with serious illness and physical disabilities. Entry to the event is free.
This year's costume theme is Dress as Your Favorite Artist or Artwork so get ready to be creative!!! A photo booth will be on-site ready for you and your friends to have fun with!
The event will feature a live DJ spinning tunes, delicious treats from Whole Foods, beer from Saint Arnolds Brewing Company and a special event-inspired cocktail dubbed "The Andy Warhol".

About Art League Houston's Healing Art Program
Founded by Houston artist Patrick Palmer in 1990 and hosted by Art League Houston, The Healing Art program was created for adults living with HIV+/AIDS. In 1995, ALH provided additional Healing Art classes to serve adults living with other severe illnesses including cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and physical disabilities. The ALH Healing Art program is the only one of its kind for adults in Houston, outside of hospital or clinical settings. ALH Healing Art classes are offered free of charge. ALH teaching artists Kermit Eisenhut and Emily Sloan instruct Healing Art students in painting, collage, drawing, and mixed media. In addition, ALH provides Healing Art students with opportunities to exhibit and sell their art each year.
