————————

Join us for a glimpse of some of the most exciting upcoming Houston-area creative projects! This free virtual event features presentations by recipients of this year's The Idea Fund grants. In its 14th year, The Idea Fund supports Houston-area artists, curators, and collaboratives whose projects exemplify unconventional, interventionist, conceptual, entrepreneurial, participatory, or guerrilla artistic practices. This granting program is funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, administered by a partnership of DiverseWorks, Project Row Houses, and Aurora Picture Show, and projects are selected by a panel of arts professionals and a past Idea Fund grant recipient. This round's jurors were Roya Amirsoleymani, Leslie Moody Castro, and Harrison Guy. For more information, visit theideafund.org.
