In 2014, four Houstonians met at a small exhibition on Islamic arts curated by a local museum in Spring, TX. In a fortunate turn of serendipity, they bonded by their common interest and came together to put up a small art show in their local mosque. They gathered other artists who shared their interest in Islamic Arts and organized the first-ever Islamic Arts Festival in Houston. They came from varied backgrounds: an architect, a physician, an engineer, a housewife, a store owner, and a student, but they had one thing in common: their passion to create Islamic Arts! Together, they create beauty on canvas, paper, wood, glass, and ceramic tiles. Together, they laid the foundations of the Islamic Arts Society. The Islamic Arts Society has grown over the years to become an umbrella organization of artists creating Islamic art in the USA. I slamic Arts Society aims to share the rich heritage of Islamic arts. The society organizes events to celebrate our culture and promote the positive image of our community among Muslims and non-Muslims. Art is a common language and binds diverse communities.
