Visitors to the exhibition will be treated to a multi-sensory experience as they walk through the conjoined creations inside re-purposed rice silos.

When the project is complete in early 2016, it will house nearly 90 creative studios and the most unique installation art space in the state. The Silos at Sawyer Yards is located at 1502 Sawyer St, Houston, TX 77007
