Photographers in Houston are no stranger to @sanmanstudios , the 11000 sq ft space is one of the largest rental studios in the city. Within Sanman, there’s a coffee shop @keptsecret.htx , @baldkittyhouston , multiple shoot spaces and a dedicated art gallery. Across the street is @buried.seeds , the fantastic wine bar I wrote about earlier this week. @sethmrogers happens to be the co-owner of all these businesses. Sanman is an acronym for “See a Need, Meet a Need”. The name originated in the early 2000’s as a mentoring program designed for urban youth by Martin Rogers, Seth’s father. Following in his footsteps, Seth and his brothers Ira Ace and Steven Rogers founded the Sanman Foundation which supports creatives in Houston through an “art residency program, public exhibitions, and workforce development initiatives.” I remember the days when the road in front of Sanman Studios was still unpaved. From 2018 until present day 2026, so much has happened in 8 years. Within the past years, more creatives have been pouring into the area and it’s now a bustling center for the arts in Houston. It’s a very exciting time, and I believe that what Seth and his brothers have built will have a lasting legacy for the arts and urban youth in Houston. ———- For Black History Month, I’ve been sharing some of my favorite black-owned businesses in Houston and their owners. This is the last of the interviews. You can check out the others on my feed. #sanmanstudios #houstonphotographer #houstonportraitphotographer

SANMAN Introduces “Buried Seeds,” a New Speakeasy Rooted in Culture, Art, Creativity, and Community 📰 🤎🥂💐 Houston’s leading home for artistic expression is expanding again. @sanmanstudios — the company known for transforming raw industrial studios into open, accessible spaces for galleries, cultural events, and immersive art experiences — has officially announced its newest creation: @buried.seeds ,a speakeasy designed to honor creativity in its most intimate form. For years, SANMAN has stood at the center of Houston’s creative ecosystem, giving artists a place not only to display their work but to bring their visions to life without restriction. The brand has become synonymous with opportunity, innovation, and cultural ownership, shaping itself as the number-one destination in the city for for rising and aspiring artists to host fine art shows, installations, and community-driven events. With @buried.seeds , SANMAN plants a new layer into its growing legacy — a hidden space where creativity can bloom quietly before it becomes visible to the world. The speakeasy blends art, ambiance, and storytelling, offering a sanctuary for thinkers, makers, and culture shapers to gather, exchange ideas, and celebrate the roots of Houston’s artistic identity. More than a bar, Buried Seeds represents the moments before the masterpiece, the conversations that spark movements, and the early-stage visions that eventually transform into galleries, performances, and cultural milestones. As SANMAN continues to uplift and empower the artists who shape Houston’s cultural landscape, Buried Seeds stands as its newest commitment: a reminder that every great creation starts underground — planted with intention, nurtured by community, and ready to grow.
