A New Year brings Exciting News!

Thank You to our Patrons and Donors

In the coming year, these funds will also be used to foster targeted programs focused on community building, music education, and cultural expression for children and families of Houston’s East End.

In addition, our successful 2021 online fundraising campaign has allowed us to upgrade facilities, offering new services and equipment for all who use our rehearsal spaces. More than 50 individual donors contributed $20 - $500 with one truly transformative $10,000 gift coming from fellow HSPVA alum, Kristen Bures, who shared: 

"I am so impressed with your thoughtful approach to making music and performing space accessible to underrepresented communities....It feels great to be able to support your work. 

Seriously, you rock!"

Through these 2021-fundraising efforts we were able to invest in:

- New Acoustical Panels for Studio 9, Studio 6, Studio 7

- Lights and lighting equipment for Studio 5, 8, and 9

- Window Shades for Studios 4, 6, 7

- Acoustical Curtains for Studios 6, 7

- Recording Equipment passthrough between Studios 8 and 10

- Chair Dollies

We are extremely grateful and humbled by the support from BANF and from all the individual donors who believe in our mission. As this is still the beginning for us, we encourage your continued support and ask for donations to maintain our current trajectory and help us grow in 2022. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift though our fundraising portal with our partners at Fresh Arts Houston.
