A new season is upon us .... |
|
|
It has been an exciting and productive summer for GARZA STUDIOS. We worked hard to forge relationships with local music and arts organizations, sponsor use of our spaces to a myriad of non-profits, engage with our community in Segundo Barrio, and finally met our goal to put a piano in each one of our ten studios. Firstly, a huge thank you to all of our customers, partners, and donors for making this possible. We have several announcements below that illustrate the fruits of our labor. We have been named a fiscally sponsored project of Houston's FRESH ARTS. This does not mean we receive funding from them, however, it does allow you to make a tax deductible donation of funds or equipment. We continue to need resources to help underwrite our ability to support several Houston-based non-profits, whose use of our spaces is integral to their mission and creative efforts. We hope you will consider supporting our impact in Segundo Barrio and the greater Houston arts community by contributing to our mission through spreading the word to a local music teacher or performing arts organization, booking a space, or donating today. Thank you, Jorge Garza President, GARZA STUDIOS |

Welcome Houston Symphony! GARZA STUDIOS has partnered with the Houston Symphony, offering discounted use of our spaces for their professional development programs with HISD. The Symphony is working directly with teachers in the Chavez High School feeder system to better equip teachers to teach symphonic repertoire. Chavez High School is located in a “complete community,” as is our Segundo Barrio, Second Ward. The mayor’s office has created this designation for communities where funds and focus must be placed to help their residents truly thrive. One of their focus areas is the arts, and we are proud to be a part of positive, thoughtful growth to help make the neighborhoods around us more “complete.” |
