Because so much of Jacinto’s family kept asking where the karaoke was at the opening… we decided to make it happen 🎤
Join us for a special karaoke night alongside You Weren’t There by Jacinto Deleon. @ristaphtx will be back with their delicious eats, and we will have matcha by @foundin.between , and plenty of songs queued up for y’all to sing your little hearts out.
We’ll also have an interactive project by Britt Thomas (@britt_thomas_art ) inside the FLATS Photo Booth: Peel & Feel Instant Tears — a modified vending machine dispensing custom glass stick-on teardrops inspired by Man Ray’s Glass Tears. The piece treats emotion as something performative, wearable, and applied. So bring your quarters!
Free photo strip for anyone using the Peel & Feel Tears! *during event only*
📍FLATS, May 23rd, 6-9pm
Come hang, sing, cry a little, and spend time with the exhibition before it closes.
Sponsored by @freshartsorg and funded in part by @houstonartsalliance and the City of Houston.

Jacinto Deleon: You Weren’t There
🗓 March 5 | 6–9PM
Join us for the opening of You Weren’t There, a new exhibition by Jacinto Deleon exploring immigrant identity, generational grief, and the feeling of living between two ideas of home — the Philippines and the American South.
Through photography, archive, and found objects, Deleon reflects on memory, labor, movement, and belonging to a place known in fragments.
Food by Ristap @ristaphtx , inspired by road trips through the Philippines.

One month left to see You Weren’t There by Jacinto Deleon.
This exhibition moves through immigrant identity, memory, and the feeling of living between two ideas of home — the Philippines and the American South. Through photography, archive, and found objects, Deleon reflects on belonging, labor, and generational memory shaped across distance.
On view through June 6. Come spend some time with the work.

This month marks 10 years of @flatspresents — and I hope you didn’t think I was going away that easily.
Now that we have a photo booth, it feels like the right time to show you everything I’ve built.
So this is week one of me breaking down FLATS.

Step outside the darkroom and into the sun with artist Lisa Bridges (@bridges_creative ). In this hands-on class, you’ll explore cyanotypes and lumen prints, using light and organic materials to create one-of-a-kind images.
No camera needed, no experience required. Just show up and make something beautiful. All supplies included.

A little piece of Houston history, now for your fridge.
FLATS’ first fridge magnets are here! Inspired by the blue and white tiles around Montrose 💙
First embedded into curbs in the 1920s as Houston’s original street signs, these tiles have become one of the city’s most iconic details — history hiding in plain sight.
Now they get to live on your fridge, framing your photo strip from Houston’s first photobooth in over 15 years.
