If you haven’t met Heartmade artist Space Montrose, you are missing something special! They have been supporting handmade in the USA since 2010 and now represent over 150 individual artists and craftsmen, half of them local to the Houston area. Owners Leila and Carlos Peraza wanted to create an atmosphere where makers meet to tell their stories, one piece at a time, allowing people to touch, feel and interact with brands on a more personal level. The store offers unique art, jewelry, prints, paper products and wearables for all ages. Space has carved out a place in the heart of their Montrose neighborhood and ours!
