SINCE ITS FOUNDING by the late catering king and philanthropist Jackson Hicks, Legacy Community Health’s Schmooze has been a holiday bash that hundreds look forward to each year.

More than 250 festively clad guests were welcomed into the North Boulevard home of Richard Holt. A bountiful buffet and Christmas cocktails awaited, and partygoers admired the sparkling trees and holiday décor while raising money for The Jackson Hicks Endowed Fund for the Awareness, Prevention, and Treatment of HIV/AIDS at Legacy.

This year’s soiree was attended by heavy-hitters such as Bobby Dees, Hallie Vanderhider, Bill Baldwin, Fady Armanious, Vivian Wise, Shannon Hall and many others. Cheers!

Five Fabulously Diverse Exhibits Are Arriving at Museum of Fine Arts Houston

Bill Viola’s ‘Ascension,’ on display as part of ‘Living with the Gods’ at MFAH

THE ARTIST WHO ushered in the expressionist movement in the early 20th century was not, in fact, Picasso or Matisse. It was Paul Gauguin, whose career spanned the decades just preceding the turn of the century. The French painter is the subject of the Museum of Fine Arts’ latest exhibit, Gauguin in the World, which was organized by Henri Loyrette (formerly of the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, Paris). The show, just one of the museum’s diverse winter season shows, debuted in Australia in June and will be on display through Feb. 16, 2025, at the MFAH, the only U.S. venue for the survey.
