Call for Nominations: The Women’s Home “Faces of Change: Her Story is Houston’s Story” Mural Art Project
The Women’s Home, a Houston-based nonprofit committed to strengthening communities by empowering women and supporting families as they rebuild stability, along with Co-Chairs Alden Clark and Doug Parker, is inviting the public to submit nominations for a newly launched, visionary art fundraising initiative. The project will celebrate women whose leadership, courage, and vision have left a lasting mark on Houston across generations.
Titled “Faces of Change: Her Story is Houston’s Story,” the large-scale mural—scheduled for completion in late spring 2026—will measure an impressive 61 feet by 20 feet and serve as a permanent public tribute to remarkable women, both past and present. Their contributions have helped shape Houston’s cultural, civic, and social landscape. The artwork will embody the strength, resilience, diversity, and enduring influence of Houston’s women, creating a powerful visual narrative that inspires reflection, pride, and community connection.
The mural will feature up to five honorees from diverse fields such as civic leadership, education, healthcare, philanthropy, the arts, advocacy, and community development. Final selections will be made by the organizing committee from nominations submitted by the public.
The deadline for nominations is March 25, 2026 and may be submitted at https://www.thewomenshome.org/mural/.
Through the Faces of Change Mural, The Women’s Home will celebrate each woman’s individual achievements while collectively honoring the remarkable breadth of contributions that have shaped Houston’s past, enrich its present, and inform its future. In conjunction with the project, The Women’s Home will offer sponsorship opportunities, community activations, and a series of events leading up to an official unveiling celebration.
