Tierney Malone’s Third Ward is My Harlem
Nov. 7 – Dec. 19, 2009
Opening Reception: Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009, 6 – 8pm
Commissioned by DiverseWorks
Join us for the opening reception of Third Ward is My Harlem this Saturday, November 7th. Houston artist Tierney Malone transforms the DiverseWorks Main Gallery into a massive multi-media installation with his latest work. Drawing from his own Southern roots and experiences, growing up in urban black American, Malone reframes American history and situates himself and his audience firmly in complex, non-linear narratives full of stoic nostalgia and sophistication. Malone craft’s an undeniably personal story of the Third Ward in a way that speaks to the experiences of much more than just one man.

Western Conference Semi-finals: Houston Dynamo vs. Seattle Sounders FC
2pm | Robertson Stadium (UH) | purchase tickets
This team has a soft spot in my heart ever since they came to this fair city 4 years ago. After winning back to back championships their first 2 years in Houston, they are back in the playoffs this season with a Western Semi-finals game this weekend vs Seattle Sounders.
I’ve always said this is one of the best entertainment values in the city. For $20 come out to see the best in the MLS.
Houston, let’s rally around OUR team and let them know we are PROUD that they are representing our city. Hope to see you there!
