关于我们
Discovery Green, a 12-acre park located at 1500 McKinney in Downtown Houston, was created by a public-private partnership between the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy. Located across the street from George R. Brown Convention Center, the park has two stages, major public art works, a one-acre lake, gardens, open green spaces, two restaurants, a promenade, a play area, open fountains, a dog run, and ample outdoor seating. More than 700 free events from small exercise classes to large concerts and community festivals will take place at Discovery Green this year, attracting more than 1.5 million adults and children. The Discovery Green Conservancy works with hundreds of programming partners and sponsors to present three dynamic programming seasons each year and is a wonderful venue to reach a wide range of audiences. As a non-profit organization, the Conservancy operates the park and also raises all the funds needed for the programming that Houstonians enjoy. Discovery Green's mission is to operate an urban park that serves as a village green, a source of health and happiness for our citizens, and a window into the diverse talents and traditions that enrich life in Houston.

There aren't many parks like Discovery Green?. Nestled between skyscrapers and Houston's multi-block convention center. With a unique park comes unique design needs. Over the past 28 months or so, I've done just about everything under the sun for this green jewel of Houston - brochures, advertisements, logos, brand extensions, brand refinement, wayfinding, music festival graphics, T-shirts, and posters - oh man, a LOT of posters. This one is one of my favorites. In the winter, Discovery Green? has an ice rink (ice skating outdoors in Houston - yeah its magic I know), in the Spring they switch out the surface and turn it into a roller rink. Both rinks are a hit every year, and this Spring poster turned that fun into a snapshot to spread the word to residents and visitors that this is the only place they need to look if hoping to coast through the season or are looking for an evening of fun and music. #graphicdesign #posterdesign #houston Discovery Green Conservancy

Discovery Green is grateful to Green Mountain Energy for being the title sponsor of Green Mountain Energy Earth Day and for their continued support of the park since 2012! Green Mountain Energy Earth Day at Discovery Green returns to one of Houston’s most sustainable parks on Saturday, April 20 from 12-5 p.m. Held in partnership with Citizens' Environmental Coalition Coalition, Green Mountain Energy Earth Day celebrates environmental stewardship and sustainability through an afternoon of family-friendly, arts-centric programming. Attendees will enjoy an array of activities – from Scrapdaddy Circus, a showcase of Mark “Scrapdaddy” Bradford’s themed Art Cars and interactive solar and wind power sculptures, to documentary screenings and an electric car petting zoo. Houston artists Donkeeboy and Donkeemom will perform a “paint off, simultaneously creating works live in front of an audience. The audience will vote for their favorite. Chalk artists will work on masterpieces throughout the day. Houston Public Works’ popular Water Works Festival will be at the event with fun opportunities for visitors to learn about the care and management of Houston’s water resources. Additionally, over 60 exhibitors, including Green Mountain Energy, the Bayou Preservation Association, Houston Humane Society Wildlife Center and Wildlife Habitat Federation, will have interactive and educational activities for guests. University of Houston-Downtown students will display their art and graphic design to tell the story of Houston’s bayous and the poetry of water. Green Mountain Energy is a longtime supporter and the official energy provider of Discovery Green, providing the park with 100 percent clean, renewable energy. Since 1997, Green Mountain Energy customers have avoided 100 billion pounds of carbon dioxide, which is the equivalent of planting more than 12 million new trees. “As the leading renewable energy provider in Texas, we are proud to partner with Discovery Green Conservancy for this year’s Earth Day celebration,” said Mark Parsons, vice president, Green Mountain Energy Company. “Our top priority is taking care of the environment, so Green Mountain Energy Earth Day is an opportunity to educate Houstonians that even the smallest changes can have a positive, lasting impact on our planet.” Green Mountain Energy Earth Day aims to be a zero-waste event. Guests are encouraged to bring their own reusable water bottles. Attendees can visit one of five kiosks throughout the park, where University of Houston-Downtown volunteers will sort through recyclable and compostable items.
