Description

Specialties

In 2006 we opened the ‘Hans Payan Art Gallery’ on Dunlavy St. in the Montrose area of Houston, then two years later we purchased an industrial metal building in the area of the Heights and built it as a large art gallery with 9 studios inside, ever since we opened we’ve had many group shows including photographers, sculpture’s, ceramic and painter artists on all medias.

In 2012 we found another building just two blocks away from Has-​G, it was an old oriental supermarket that had closed and we decided we wanted to expand our offer of art studios due to the high demand we have had in Has-​G so far. We recycled the building leaving parts of it as the original supermarket making the freezer and refrigeration sections into studios and we created a garden in the back of the building to use as an outdoor exhibit platform.
