Join your colleagues in Houston! The doors between art, science, medicine, technology, and other sectors are always open, and the welcome mat is always out. The art of collaboration is a way of life, and an entrepreneurial spirit defines the arts community.

Houston’s vibrant arts scene and diverse demographic profile provide a laboratory to examine grantmaking practices and a stage to celebrate new forms of artistic expression and new ways of working together.
