Texture encourages curiosity and a desire to interact. This edition of “Virtual Art Encounters” explores the topic of texture in art—both visual and physical.
You’re invited to capture the textures that draw you in. Share different textures on social media using the hashtag #ArtEncountersMFAH or email your photos to artencounters@mfah.org directly.
