This mural was painted by Houston artist Jacob Messa with help of UHCL students during our 2023 Sustainable Stories Film Fest Art Gallery Opening on November 10 in the main hallway of the UHCL Bayou Building next to our gallery. 

The Festival is a collaboration between the University of Houston Clear Lake (UHCL) and Alvin Community College (ACC). We show films and artwork about ideas, concepts and stories of sustainability and we empower filmmakers and artists working on sustainability-related subjects. This year's special focus is Community Sustainability.Participating pieces are documentary & narrative films, animations, experimental films, video art, still images, sculptures and paintings. For this year's festival we selected just over 60 films from the 200 submissions received. Participating films are both local and from around the world. We also selected just over 30 pieces of physical art, mostly from local, Houston-based artists.Selected films and artwork were be shown at the ACC Gallery form October 1 - 31, with a gallery opening on Oct. 3  from 5:00 - 7:00 PM and a screening of the participating films at the 350-seat ACC Theater on Oct. 25 at 7:00 PM, and are now on display at the UHCL Art Gallery from Nov. 7 - Dec. 7 at the, with a screening of selected films at the 500-seat Bayou Theater on Nov. 13, 4:00 PM, followed by a gallery opening at 5:30.Please see below for details of both exhibitions!
