The  Art House

The Art House School of Fine Arts  was founded by Viruchy Delgado-Giambi in 1987.

Initially located in the Westheimer/Dairy Ashford area, it was relocated to the Rice University village in the Fall of 1990.  There it became The Village Art House. In 1993 it moved again to 3501 W. Holcombe Blvd where it remained for nine years, finally moving to 4607 Caroline Blvd in the Museum District in the Summer of 2004.

TESTIMONIAL.  JULY 17, 2008

"...I wanted to thank you for giving Lily a wonderful art experience this summer.  We were impressed with the work that she produced during the drawing and acrylics classes.  And she absolutely loved fashion design!  We hope that she will be able to study with you again during the school year.  Also, the updated website looks really sharp!
