These organizations are all part of Houston’s arts infrastructure, and received a grant from Houston Arts Alliance in 2020.
If you have attended an event at any of these venues, it is highly likely that your event was supported by the City. Public funding such as those provided by the City of Houston helps to attract private & in-kind funding. It helps to validate organizations like these to potential donors, so that they can keep the lights on, hire contractors and pay artist fees. If you are an artist/art lover/concerned community member who would love to see more art in this city, we ask that you support Arts Accountability Houston’s advocacy efforts to ensure robust and equitable public funding for the arts in Houston.
Access to the arts should be a right, not a privilege in this city.
