New Houston art gallery breaking down barriers for Black artists
HOUSTON - Art is said to open your mind to a whole new world. If that’s the case, a unique universe awaits your arrival in northeast Harris County.
The new Anderson Center for the Arts (once called Harris County Cultural Arts Council) is full of wonderful works of art from local creative geniuses. The center is a non-profit, and its location is no accident. It’s meant to give access to the arts to people who otherwise likely would not attend an art gallery.
In a $1.2 billion arts economy, Anderson breaks down barriers for Black artists, giving them a platform and an opportunity to obtain a slice of that profitable pie.
