Houston Center for Contemporary Craft is a nonprofit arts organization founded to advance education about the process, product and history of craft. Since opening in September of 2001, HCCC has emerged as an important cultural and educational resource for Houston and the Southwest—one of the few venues in the country dedicated exclusively to craft at the highest level.
HCCC is located in the Museum District at 4848 Main Street - Houston, Texas 77002. HCCC is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 AM – 5 PM, and Sunday, 12 – 5 PM.(Closed Sundays, July 4th - Labor Day.) Admission is free. Accessible parking is available directly behind the facility, off Travis Street. HCCC is 1½ blocks south of the Wheeler Avenue MetroRail station on Main Street.
HCCC is funded in part by grants from The Brown Foundation; Houston Endowment, Inc.; the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance; Texas Commission on the Arts; the Wortham Foundation; and Windgate Charitable Foundation. Continental Airlines is the official airline of Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. For more information, call 713/529-4848 or visit us online at www.crafthouston.org.
Houston Center for Contemporary Craft provides exhibition, retail and studio spaces to support the work of local and national artists. In addition, HCCC is a wonderful resource for art educators and provides mission-related educational programs in schools and underserved communities.
