We’re all about collaboration! Here are initiatives that the Third Ward Cultural District is leading alongside our partners across the neighborhood and region.
Juneteenth Houston
We are the sponsoring organization for the Juneteenth Houston Citywide Collaborative. This collaborative organizes the annual citywide Juneteenth kickoff event with seven historically Black communities, the citywide event calendar, and a Black history bus tour.
HouArts in Action
HouArts in Action is an effort to champion arts & culture in the Greater Houston Area sponsored by Houston’s Cultural Districts, and is an opportunity for the sector to come together to craft a platform and strategy to champion the arts.
Cultural District Programming Stipends
Applications for a $1,000 programming stipend are reviewed on a rolling basis. Event organizers can apply in advance for financial support for their programs taking place within the Third Ward Cultural District, including but not limited to performances, exhibitions, vendor markets, and activations.
