Fresh Arts helps Houston artists build careers that pay — with funding, business training, studio space, and paid opportunities.
Six weeks of gallery space at Sawyer Yards, a stipend to seed your project, and one-on-one mentorship from planning through opening night. For traditionally underrepresented Houston artists ready to take space.
Fresh Arts helps Houston artists build careers they can sustain. We provide funding through fiscal sponsorship, business training, studio and gallery space, and a weekly board of paid opportunities — for artists in every discipline, at every stage.
The Artist Resource Library features a curated selection of artist business resources including career-focused articles, templates and tool kits, plus videos and virtual conversations featuring Houston area artists and experts. Topics include marketing, finances, fundraising, legal issues, and more.
The Artist Opportunity Board features the latest local and regional arts opportunities, such as grants, fellowships, calls for entry, workshops, jobs, and more, updated weekly. Browse by opportunity type or deadline and subscribe to the Artist Resource Newsletter to have the latest opportunities delivered straight to your inbox each month.
