Fresh Arts Coalition is a collaboration of the most original and thought-provoking arts groups in Houston - 25 dance, theatre, literary, musical, visual and cultural arts organizations that have joined together to collectively raise awareness of the size and diversity of the arts in our town. These distinctive arts-based non-profits make the city’s arts scene one of the most dynamic in the country.
