Bayou City Art Festival featured artist Michelle McDowell-Smith joins the show to talk about the biggest art festival in the city.

As a creative, I enjoyed geeking out on processes, etc. We talked about going on hiatus, the artist's equivalent of writer's block, and of course, the Bayou City Art Festival.

About the festival:

Since the founding of the Westheimer Art Festival, now known as Bayou City Art Festival, the Art Colony Association, Inc. has raised more than $3.6 million for local nonprofit programs from the proceeds of its festivals. Bayou City Art Festival Memorial Park in the spring and Bayou City Art Festival Downtown in the fall has provided a venue for more than 20,000 artists to showcase their work to thousands of art lovers from all over the world. The festivals are funded in part by grants from the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance, corporate sponsorships, private contributions, in-kind support and volunteer assistance.
