Looking for something fun to do this Saturday but just canand#39;t figure out what? Bring the whole family to Houstonand#39;s Smither Park at 2441 Munger Street near University of Houston, each Saturday starting at 10am and watch the artists in action! This is a great opportunity to see the process each artist takes in creating their permanent masterpieces.

Smither Park is a really cool creative urban space created in a mosaic or patchwork style by local artists and friends that is truly and uniquely Houston Itand#39;s one of those hidden gems that just grabs you when you arrive and makes you wonder how you never knew about it before.
 
Visionary artist and builder Dan Phillips worked alongside the late Stephanie Smither to design Smither Park in the memory of her late husband, John H. Smither. John and Stephanie were long-time supporters and collectors of self-taught art, as well as board members of The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art. Inspired by the Orange Showand#39;s philosophy of promoting and sustaining self-taught art, over 300 artists have contributed permanent mosaic masterpieces, and it serves as a testimony to the vibrancy and creativity of the city of Houston.
