- ProjeXion is a multimedia exploration of masculinity and sexuality through abstract, homo erotically charged vignettes that veer between reportage, performance and fantasy. Working with photography, painting and drawing, the artists blur the lines between reality and fiction, abstraction and representation, and pornography and art to evoke narratives that resonate with the contradictions of so-called post-gay culture.
- Artists: Devon Britt Darby, Timothy Gonzalez, Alexandre Rosa
- This show contains adult themes. You must be 21 to enter.
- 1606 White Oak Drive

The Billy Jonas Band is everyone, audience and performers. As the evening progresses, the band collectively shapes the show into an unforgettable neo-tribal hootenanny.”

Discount for Color In Motion 5k, benefitting Girls On The Run
- A group of my friends recently did another color run and loved it so I am very excited to be able to offer my Heights friends (and anyone else) a discount for the February 2nd Color in Motion 5k race. This race also benefits the local Houston charity, Girls on the Run.
**Use the discount code- THEHEIGHTS to register and get 10% off race registration at colorinmotion5k.com/event/Houston.**
- For those of you who may not be familiar with Girls on the Run, it is a wonderful charity that benefits the young girls of Houston. It teaches girls self-respect and healthy lifestyle through running and interactive curriculum.
- This is is not a timed race so you can run, walk, jog, whatever your prefer as long as you are moving and having fun.
- Here's how it works:
- Come in white clothes and start moving!
- At every kilometer of the race there is a color pit where volunteers throw color on you as you go by, helping make the experience more fun and turning your white clothes into a palette of color. What also makes Color in Motion 5k different than your average 5k race is the after party. Afterwards there is a big party with music, dancing, vendors and a color throw.
- Go to colorinmotion5k.com/event/Houston and sign up using THEHEIGHTS and support a great cause!
