Popmarte, a rotating, multi-brand pop-up retail store, joined Pearl for the holidays and is now extending the stay for an art exhibition named Bonus Round. An eager group of young art students from Texas State University are teaming up with Popmarte at Pearl to utilize the unique retail space as a showcase of their handmade art. Gabi Martinez, a ceramic artist from Texas State University leads the project. This pop-up gallery of handmade art aims to transcend the white box theory as it champions a street-smart aesthetic. Bonus Round is an industrial experience where a merging of disciplines allows the makers to redefine function with intent to create quality handmade art. All art will be available for purchase. It premiered on Tuesday January 2 and will be open until Sunday January 14. Hours are Monday: closed, Tuesday to Thursday: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday to Saturday: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Popmarte, 2017)
