Houston photographer Violeta Álvarez joined Houston Life to share “Casa de Cultura,” a free Fresh Arts Gallery exhibition at Sawyer Yards running July 9–August 22. The show begins with “Luz y Sombra", her iconic music photography then becomes “Con Sangre y Corazón,” a live, interactive archive where visitors can contribute portraits, Polaroids, and handwrite family stories on the gallery walls.

The annual event, benefiting the Houston Food Bank, has raised more than $1.2 million to help fight hunger in the Houston area, which equates to more than 3.6 million meals.

What began as a simple coffee stand for Houston Astros fans has grown into a vibrant dining destination, thanks in part to the vision of Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and his partner, Juan Carlos de Aldecoa.
