As a company we try very hard to hire creative people. Left brain, right brain, both, but they must have creative skills and a sense of curiosity. As a result, we frequently find ourselves running into each other at events for the Arts Community in Houston. So here are a few links if you, like us, want to get more involved with the Arts in Houston!

 

1. Aerosol Warfare
2. Art Car Museum and the Art Car Klub
3. ArtsHound - a project of the Houston Arts Alliance - BEST HOUSTON ARTS CALENDAR
4. Arts Houston
   
5. AvantGarden - an arts and entertainment venue
6. Backbeat - the unique thing about this music site is that it's both local and international music artists and the content is added/edited by any registered user - fan or artist! Probably the most bookmarked page is the concerts calendar that promotes all of the major music acts coming to town, but if you like live local bands, have a look at the main calendar. Still in public Beta.
