The BioArt Bayou-torium
Created by artist Henry G. Sanchez, the Bio-Art Bayou-torium is a bilingual, socially practice, bio-art project originally based in a shipment container. Its mission is to bring an aesthetic and informational art experience to cultivate stewardship of Houston's Bayous among our bilingual and Spanish-speaking residents of Houston’s East End neighborhoods. Natural science and art making activities are inspired by the flora and fauna of Buffalo Bayou.
