We invite you to descend hundreds of feet beneath the ocean's surface and enter a world rarely seen by humans.
Created by ARTECHOUSE Studio in collaboration with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Twilight Zone: Hidden Wonders of the Ocean takes you into one of the largest, strangest, and least understood habitats on Earth. Here, creatures create their own light, extraordinary organisms live in near-total darkness, and the largest animal migration on the planet takes place every single night.

Through monumental immersive visuals, an original musical score, interactive installations, and extended-reality experiences, Twilight Zone transforms cutting-edge ocean science into something you can see, hear, explore, and feel. Encounter the wonderfully bizarre creatures of the deep, use sound and environmental DNA to uncover hidden life, and journey alongside WHOI's underwater robot Mesobot into a world few humans have ever witnessed.

In the lobby, Houston-based Marine Conservation artist Janavi Mahimtura Folmsbee presents Time and Tide, which explores the ocean as a living record of movement, change, and time through painting, sculpture, lenticular, videography, and site-specific installations. 

Grounded in direct field research, Time and Tide draws from nearly two decades of scuba diving, underwater observation and documentation, scientific collaboration, and engagement with divers, activists, and communities connected to marine environments.

Join us for a special evening celebrating the Houston debut of two exhibitions where art becomes a bridge to science, weirdness becomes wonderful, and one of Earth's last great frontiers comes to life. 

Experience it all before it opens to the public on September 18th.
