Frequently Asked Questions


How does a group become a member of the Fresh Arts Coalition?

First your group must meet the following guidelines:

1) Believe in and subscribe to the Mission Statement and Goals of the Fresh Arts Coalition
2) 2 years of operation
3) 501(c)3 non-profit status
4) Have a Board of Directors or a committed volunteer corps
5) Have a set performance or exhibition schedule which the Coalition can market
6) Not a member of any other Houston-area marketing group (ie Museum or Theatre District, to avoid confusion and overlap of mission)

Second your group fills out and application and it is brought to Fresh Arts members and our Board of Directors for voting. Our membership only opens up about every 18 months.  If you are interested in applying when we open for new members please contact us at info@fresharts.org.

Can I list my event on your website, or can you add it to your e-newsletter?

The newsletter and calendar are reserved for the members of Fresh Arts Coalition. With that being said if your group is not one of our member organizations we cannot list your event in our newsletter, or on our web calendar at this time. Our members went through a selection process, and pay dues to have us work on their behalf. As a guardian of their interests we have their concerns in mind first as we advocate for the arts in the Houston community. Our mission and vision statements provide a very clear path for us to follow as well as the path we follow to support our members. We wish we could support all arts organizations on our newsletter, but unfortunately we can´t.

Where can I post my event other than your website?

There are several places you can try.  Houston Arts Alliance (HAA) has a website or event listings in the arts called ArtsHound.com.  You can also post your event on Spacetaker.org.
