Downtown Window Display Will Encourage Houstonians to Stick Together

Concept drawings of Robert Hodge’s #SticktogetherHOU! window mural.

Every good Houstonian knows what it means to be #HoustonStrong. Artist Robert Hodge is going one step further, reminding his fellow Bayou City residents of the importance of sticking together in these troubling coronavirus-filled times. The multi-disciplinary creative will soon be filling windows in Midway Companies’ downtown GreenStreet property with eye-catching words of encouragement as part of his new project, #StickTogetherHOU!

Using sticky notes, Hodge will spell out the words “Resilient” and “HOU” and also draw a heart (because what Houstonian doesn’t love H-Town?). Each sticky note will hold the name of an individual who has who stood resilient this year in the face of COVID-19, the current fight for social equity through the Black Lives Matter movement, or something else entirely.

The sticky note mural won’t be unveiled until at least mid-July, so if you know someone who’s epitomized the idea of resilience during these crazy times, submit their name here to have them included.

After leaving her hometown of Baltimore, Emma spent five years covering arts & culture in the mountains of Virginia before joining Houstonia in January 2020. During her tenure in the commonwealth, she walked with ghosts through the state's oldest municipal cemetery, became BFFs with one of the writers behind the Despicable Me franchise, and borderline stalked an Elvis Tribute Artist — but in her defense, she won multiple awards for that story, and he was crowned the world's best ETA. Her work has been picked up by The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and The Associated Press. When Emma's not chasing down a story, taking in a musical, or watching a superhero TV show, she's spending time with her giant, sweet potato fry-stealing cat, Boh (named after Charm City icon Natty Boh), whose raison d'etre is to be a real-life Garfield.
