Encounter: Meeting Points on Buffalo Bayou

Join the Buffalo Bayou Partnership for a self-guided tour of six sites along Buffalo Bayou featuring installations by students from the University of Houston Graphic Design and Creative Writing Programs. These interactive installations express ideas about the bayou’s relation to the East End and Fifth Ward communities.

This free, afternoon event features:

• Site-specific, text-based installations at six locations along Buffalo Bayou’s East Sector
• Large-scale typographic/text-based messages/stories that activate and animate created by students
• Interpretations of the history, economy, resilience, culture and community values of the East Sector neighborhoods as they relate to the bayou and green spaces
• Self-guided tours of the installations and share ideas and opinions related to Buffalo Bayou Partnership’s future plans along the Bayou’s East Sector 
• Participatory activities ranging from nature walks to boat tours and live entertainment and food trucks will be located at the North York Boat Launch site

Enjoy entertainment and food trucks at the North York Boat Launch.  Participate in activities at each site and share your ideas related to Buffalo Bayou Partnership’s future plans along the bayou’s East Sector.
